Liverpool eye move for Chelsea and Arsenal target

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who has also been subject of interest from Arsenal and Chelsea. As per TBR Football, the Sweden international has attracted a long list of suitors, including the aforementioned three clubs.

Premier League holders Manchester City and La Liga leaders Barcelona have also registered their interest in the 25-year-old. Newcastle United are reportedly willing to tie down their star forward to a new deal but are facing several hurdles.

The Magpies were reportedly in advanced talks with Isak a few months ago, but decided to stall the negotiations. With his current deal valid until 2028, an extension was not considered an immediate priority.

Both Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon have committed their futures at St. James' Park of late. Now, Eddie Howe's side face a tricky situation with the club struggling to comply with PSR rules.

On top of that, Isak's camp are well aware of the interest in the former Real Sociedad and Borussia Dortmund star. The forward has now scored in four successive games following a slow start to the season.

Isak joined Newcastle United in the summer of 2022 for a club-record £63 million fee from Real Sociedad. The Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea target has so far scored 40 goals and provided seven assists in 78 appearances for the Magpies.


Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all keen on French sensation: Reports

Premier League trio Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have all expressed their interest in signing LOSC Lille wonderkid Ayyoub Bouaddi, as per reports. As reported by Caught Offside, the 17-year-old has caught the attention of Europe's biggest clubs following his exploits for Lille against Juventus and Lyon.

At just 17 years of age, Ayyoub Bouaddi has already established himself as an important player for his boyhood club Lille. He has already made 30 appearances for Les Dogues and has impressed with his all-action midfield game.

Bouaddi has started Lille's UEFA Champions League games against Real Madrid and Juventus this season. He was particularly impressive in his side's 1-1 draw against Juventus in which he registered 87% passing accuracy and won four duels.

As per Caught Offside, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been monitoring the teenager's progress on a weekly basis. Serie A sides Juventus and AC Milan have also been linked with a move for the central midfielder.

Bouaddi signed a new deal in June, which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2027. Thus, Lille won't be pressurized to sell him. However, it has been claimed that they could consider letting him go for around €25 to €30 million.
