Alexander Isak speaks out on Arsenal transfer links and sends message to Newcastle fans

Alexander Isak has warned he will no longer «entertain» questions about transfer links with Arsenal after insisting he is fully invested in Newcastle United's long-term «project».

The Sweden international took his overall tally of goals to 29 since his £63million move from Real Sociedad two years ago in Tuesday night's Premier League clash against Everton — and insists he is only focused on scoring even more goals for the Magpies, reports Chronicle Live. The Gunners have been taking a close look at Isak in recent months but Eddie Howe told reporters he was «not for sale» only last week.

Speaking about his commitment to Newcastle, Isak said: «Yeah, of course I want to be here in the future. I came here for the project, I absolutely love playing here, I really feel at home. I want to finish this season in a good way for me and the team.

»Of course, I love playing here. I don't want to entertain these type of questions and rumours. It's not my position. I love playing, we have important games, there's no focus there (on my future), I just want to do good for the team.".

For now, Isak must stay fully fit as Newcastle look to close in on a European spot with the Europa Conference League looking increasingly like the best bet for the Magpies.

Isak reflected: «We want Europe, that's our target. We want to end up as high as possible, so we have to be positive in that respect. „We have to keep winning games and we'll see which place is available. There's chances for us.
