Newcastle Scouting Strikers as Liverpool Eye Alexander Isak
Newcastle United are actively searching for new strikers ahead of the summer transfer window, anticipating a potential bid from Liverpool for Alexander Isak.
With the Swedish forward in top form, Newcastle could face increasing difficulty in holding onto him as interest grows. Sources close to the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Liverpool are preparing to step up their pursuit, with formal moves expected soon.
While Newcastle are reluctant to sell, they have been quietly exploring potential replacements should Isak depart.
Who Could Replace Isak at Newcastle?
One of Newcastle’s primary targets is Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, a long-term option for the club. Additionally, CaughtOffside reports that Porto’s Samu Aghehowa is gaining serious attention from Newcastle.
However, signing Aghehowa won’t be easy. The young striker was previously on Chelsea’s radar, and the Blues remain interested. Arsenal and Aston Villa are also monitoring him, while Bayern Munich and Tottenham have recently joined the race.
Replacing a player of Isak’s caliber is no small task, but Newcastle are preparing for all scenarios. Meanwhile, with Mohamed Salah’s future uncertain at Liverpool, the Reds may view Isak as a key signing to strengthen their attack.
