Newcastle United are preparing to initiate fresh contract talks with Alexander Isak, aiming to secure his long-term future at the club. Manager Eddie Howe is eager to tie down the Swedish striker, who has been pivotal since his £63 million arrival from Real Sociedad in 2022. Although Isak still has nearly four years left on his current deal, there is concern that Premier League rivals such as Arsenal and Chelsea could reignite their interest if an agreement isn’t reached .
Despite suffering a broken toe during the recent win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, Isak remains one of Newcastle’s most important players. He has scored 36 goals in 73 appearances, making a strong impact when fit. However, statistical dips this season in areas like shots on target and goals have emerged compared to the previous campaign .

While Newcastle remains confident, they recognize the urgency to eliminate any doubts about his future .
