London, 24 May 2025 — Sky Sports has just delivered a major transfer bombshell: Alexander Isak is on the verge of completing a sensational move to Arsenal, with a medical already scheduled in North London within the next 48 hours.
Sources close to the deal reveal that the Gunners have agreed personal terms with the Swedish striker, and negotiations with Newcastle United are in the final stages, with a reported fee in the region of £85 million.
If completed, this would become Arsenal’s record signing, and a powerful statement of intent from manager Mikel Arteta as the club looks to reinforce its title ambitions for the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Arteta Gets His Man
Arsenal have been in the market for a prolific number nine, and Isak has long topped their wishlist. The 25-year-old enjoyed a stellar campaign with Newcastle, scoring 22 Premier League goals and impressing with his movement, creativity, and lethal finishing.
“Arsenal have admired Isak for over a year,” Sky Sports transfer expert Dharmesh Sheth reported. “Now, all signs point to a done deal. The player is excited about joining a Champions League contender and working under Mikel Arteta.”
Medical and Official Announcement Imminent
Isak is expected to undergo a medical in London early next week, with the official unveiling anticipated shortly after. The Gunners plan to have him join preseason training in July, where he will link up with stars like Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Declan Rice.
Fan Excitement Soars
News of the pending transfer has sparked massive excitement among Arsenal supporters, with “#IsakToArsenal” trending across social media platforms within minutes of the Sky Sports report. Many fans believe Isak could be the missing piece in the club’s push for both Premier League and European glory.
With Viktor Gyökeres already secured, Arsenal’s front line for next season could be among the most feared in Europe — and the signing of Isak only adds to the firepower.
From Tyneside to North London: A New Chapter Begins
Should the deal go through as expected, Newcastle will lose one of their prized assets, while Arsenal gains a world-class striker entering his prime. A formal announcement from the clubs could come as early as next week.
