Tottenham looking to compete with rivals Arsenal for 19-goal Premier League star

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak at the end of the season.

A report from Football Insider claims that they will face competition from bitter rivals Arsenal. Both London clubs are keen on signing the Swedish international striker and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best strikers in English football and he has been in fine form this season. Isak has scored 19 goals across all competitions and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the two clubs.

Tottenham are yet to bring a quality replacement for Harry Kane and they need a reliable goalscorer this summer. The 24-year-old is versatile enough to operate anywhere across the front three and he should prove to be the ideal fit for the North London club.

Tottenham will be hoping to win major trophies in the coming seasons and they need quality additions in the summer. Isak could help them improve immensely.

Arsenal need someone like Alexander Isak

Meanwhile, Arsenal need to find a quality alternative to Gabriel Jesus who has not been at his best this season. The Swedish international striker could prove to be an upgrade on Jesus next season.

Newcastle United are going through financial limitations and they might need to raise funds in the summer in order to comply with financial regulations. They could be forced to sell key players and Isak might be sacrificed.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham and Arsenal come forward with concrete proposals to sign the striker in the summer. Both clubs are well placed to compete in the Champions League next season and they will be attractive destinations for him.
