Newcastle Scouting Strikers Amid Liverpool’s Interest in Isak
Newcastle United are actively searching for new strikers ahead of the summer transfer window, anticipating a potential bid from Liverpool for Alexander Isak.
Isak’s Future in Doubt
The Swedish forward’s strong performances have drawn significant interest, putting Newcastle in a difficult position as they attempt to retain him. Sources close to the situation have told CaughtOffside that Liverpool are preparing to step up their pursuit, with formal moves expected soon.
While Newcastle are reluctant to sell, they have quietly begun planning for a possible replacement in case Isak departs.
Potential Replacements for Isak
Newcastle have been monitoring several strikers, with Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres long considered a prime target. Additionally, Porto’s Samu Aghehowa has emerged as a serious option, with growing interest from multiple clubs.
Aghehowa was on Chelsea’s radar last year, and the London club remains interested. Arsenal and Aston Villa are also keeping tabs on him, while Bayern Munich and Tottenham are now considering making a move, meaning Newcastle could face tough competition.
Replacing a player of Isak’s quality will be a significant challenge, but Newcastle must be prepared for his possible exit, as he has the potential to succeed at an elite club like Liverpool.
With Mohamed Salah’s future uncertain as his contract nears its end, Liverpool may view Isak as a key addition to their squad.
