Arsenal had made Newcastle star Alexander Isak their top target during the early days of the summer transfer window.

According to The Independent, however, the Gunners ended their interest as they did not want to be drawn into a transfer saga for Saka.

Newcastle rejected all of the North Londoners’ advances and now Mikel Arteta’s side is looking at alternative targets.

The likes of Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Brentford’s Ivan Toney have all been linked.
