Newcastle United have reportedly inquired about the availability of a “remarkable” striker who has scored 19 goals this season. The club is considering a summer move for the player.
Isak Attracting Widespread Interest
Alexander Isak has become a target for several top clubs due to his impressive performance this season. The Swedish striker has scored 19 Premier League goals.
Liverpool have contacted Isak’s representatives about a potential £148m transfer. Chelsea are also expected to join the race amid concerns at Arsenal about missing out on a deal.
Replacing the 25-year-old would be challenging if he leaves in the summer. Newcastle are reportedly planning to discuss a new contract with Isak.
However, Newcastle needs to consider alternatives in case they cannot retain Isak. Reports indicate they are interested in Fiorentina’s Moise Kean for a summer transfer.
Newcastle has reportedly asked to be kept informed about Kean’s situation, suggesting initial contact with Fiorentina or the player’s representatives.
West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in Kean, as several clubs are keen to bring the fast forward back to the Premier League, where he previously played for Everton.
Kean’s time at Everton was largely disappointing, but he has been in excellent form in Serie A this season. This has led English clubs to consider activating his £44m release clause.
Kean Given New Lease of Life in Italy
After joining Everton from Juventus, Kean struggled in the Premier League, scoring only four goals in 39 appearances. However, he has since revitalized his career in Italy.
The Italian striker has scored 19 goals across all competitions this season, including 15 in Serie A, making him the league’s second-highest scorer. His performances have been widely praised.
Kean might be ready for another opportunity in the Premier League. However, his past struggles in England raise questions about whether Newcastle should pursue him.
Newcastle’s priority this summer should be retaining Isak, who has been described as one of the best strikers in the world this season.
