The centre-forward was on the bench the last time Newcastle reached the Carabao Cup final but a lot has changed since then

Newcastle United have already identified a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, according to a report.Isak is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and has been on fire for Newcastle

Both sides have been credited with a strong interest and both sides desire Isak for differing reasons. For Arsenal, they are desperate to bridge the gap to the title after missing out three years in a row and there is a lack of confidence that either Kai Havertz or Gabriel Jesus can produce.
