As the January transfer window reaches its conclusion, Newcastle United may still have a few deals up their sleeve, with tying down their talismanic striker being priority No. 1

The Magpies are potentially 90 minutes away from bagging a spot at Wembley Stadium. To ensure that they will need everyone on top form, including Alexander Isak. The striker has 19 goals to his name this term and continues to carve the path to a long-awaited triumph for Eddie Howe 's men.

The Magpies also don’t need to sell. With strong financial backing, Newcastle can afford to keep their top players. They are building for the future, and Isak is a key part of that plan. Newcastle fans will hope the club stands firm. If Arsenal want Isak, they will have to do much better than this.
