Newcastle striker Alexander Isak is reportedly not in discussions over a contract extension, as Arsenal monitors his status with interest. The 25-year-old Swede has impressed since joining the Magpies from Real Sociedad in 2022 for a club-record £63 million, scoring 32 goals in 58 Premier League appearances.

His achievements include being the first Newcastle player since Alan Shearer to reach 20 Premier League goals. However, while preliminary discussions were held before the summer, SunSport reports that no further contract talks are scheduled due to his existing deal running through 2028.

Both Newcastle and Isak’s camp see an extension as unnecessary at this stage, but Isak may reassess his options if Newcastle fails to secure a top-four finish, limiting his Champions League opportunities. Despite limited scoring this season, Arsenal remains keen on Isak, with Newcastle likely able to demand a fee exceeding £100 million if interest materializes.
