Liverpool Deal Blow to Arsenal in Alexander Isak Pursuit, Proposing £100m Alternative to Newcastle
Liverpool could stymie Arsenal’s attempts to recruit Alexander Isak this summer, as the Reds are reportedly ‘eyeing a £100 million move’ for one of his Newcastle teammates.
Newcastle paid a club record cost of about £63 million to recruit Isak from La Liga club Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022, and he has shown to be an excellent addition, netting 29 goals in 48 Premier League games for the Magpies.

The Saudi-backed PIF has spent substantially since assuming control of Newcastle and has cash to burn, but they are currently dealing with financial fair play difficulties.

The winger has been outstanding this season for Eddie Howe’s side, and he was recently voted Newcastle’s Player of the Season. His efforts are reported to have ‘caught the attention of Liverpool scouts’ as they prepare for life after Jurgen Klopp under new manager Arne Slot.
According to reports, Liverpool would have to pay close to £100 million to recruit the 23-year-old, who joined Everton for £45 million in January of last year.
According to sources, Arsenal is willing to pay a comparable fee for Isak, thus Newcastle may be more enticed to sell Gordon, since he represents the more lucrative deal.
It’s unclear whether Gordon would consider an offer from Liverpool – he appears to be enjoying his time at St James’ Park – but the report does mention that Gordon is a lifelong Liverpool fan, having previously been a member of their youth setup before moving to Everton at the age of 11.
