Newcastle agree £60million deal for ex-Arsenal target Alexander Isak as club-record move looms

Newcastle United have agreed a club-record £60million deal to sign Alexander Isak.

With personal terms also agreed, the move comes after a late change of tact from the board who were not planning on spending so big on one player this summer.

As a result, a deal for the Real Sociedad star is now imminent.

Isak is a striker by trade, and looks set for a very bright future after bagging 16, 17 and 10 goals in all competitions during his three seasons with the Spanish side.

At 22 years old, the Sweden international has already captured the attention of many clubs, including Arsenal who were previously linked with a move for the attacker.

The Gunners were keen on a move for the player earlier this year before they made a move to sign Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City.

Isak has continued his goalscoring form this season with one in two matches, so far.

His effort coming against Spanish giants Barcelona in a match that ended 4-1.

For Newcastle, news of the imminent deal is a real boost.

The Magpies have been searching for a new striker since the end of last term with Joao Pedro from Watford also linked with a move.

With Callum Wilson facing a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, the potential arrival of the Real Sociedad man would be a timely boost.
