Alexander Isak has been a revelation for Newcastle over the past two seasons, but the Swede's current stature has attracted interest from rival clubs

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe called striker Alexander Isak outstanding on Saturday after his two goals against Southampton put the Sweden international firmly in the race for the Premier League golden boot.

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer says he had no concerns about Alexander Isak's short-term future at St. James' Park despite a reported interest from Arsenal and Barcelona.

Eddie Howe has put the onus on his Newcastle United players to qualify for the Champions League after missing out on Europe last season.

Howe emphasized Isak's importance to the team, highlighting his contributions and potential for future success.

The Magpies also don’t need to sell. With strong financial backing, Newcastle can afford to keep their top players. They are building for the future, and Isak is a key part of that plan. Newcastle fans will hope the club stands firm. If Arsenal want Isak, they will have to do much better than this.
