Alexander Isak has been linked to Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea but who is the 13/8 favourite to land the Newcastle star?

Daily Mail​2 days ago
Alexander Isak has become one of the hottest properties in football after yet another impressive campaign with Newcastle.
The Swedish international scored 27 times in 42 games across all competitions last season, including 23 for Newcastle in the Premier League in just 34 outings under Eddie Howe.
The 25-year-old was also a crucial cog of the Magpies machine that went all the way in the Carabao Cup to bring silverware back to Newcastle at long last.
As a result of his stunning performances as arguably the best striker in the league - out-scoring Manchester City's Erling Haaland by a goal last term - he has been linked with a number of leading teams.
Manchester United are currently priced at a very long 40/1, perhaps indicative of their malaise, and their financial situation, particularly having already spent over £60million on Matheus Cunha.
Chelsea and European champions Paris Saint-Germain are the next least-likely sides to land Isak this summer according to Sky Bet, with odds of 25/1.
Next up are Real Madrid, who have already added Trent Alexander-Arnold to their ranks from the Premier League this summer, though they aren't considered among the favourites at 22/1.
Barcelona are the third-most likely side to snap up the Swedish international's services, with the Spanish champions priced at 9/1.
Arsenal and Liverpool have been perhaps strongest-linked with the No 9, with both in the hunt for a goal-scorer to fortify their already strong attacking lines.
But it is the current Premier League champions who are considered the favourites to sign Isak at 13/8, with Arsenal second with odds of 13/2.
Sky Bet odds for clubs to sign Alexander Isak by September 2:
Liverpool 13/8
Arsenal 13/2
Barcelona 9/1
Real Madrid 22/1
Paris Saint-Germain 25/1
Chelsea 25/1
Manchester United 40/1

Northern Ireland teen handed dream chance to follow Conor Bradley's lead as he inks Liverpool scholarship deal

The teenage defender is one of several Academy players handed contracts by the club. Every year, Liverpool finalise a fresh intake of first-year scholars as young players step up from the Under-16s to Under-18s football. Moran has been part of the Northern Ireland Under-17 squad, working under the Irish FA's Director of Elite Player Development Andy Waterworth along with Kris Lindsay and Gareth McAuley. He will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Northern Ireland international Conor Bradley, who agreed a four-year deal keeping him at the Premier League winners until the summer of 2029. Bradley came through the ranks at Liverpool after joining from Dungannon Swifts in 2019. Moran was handed his scholarship deal alongside several other Liverpool young guns, with Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish and head coach Arne Slot present.

Noni Madueke bids farewell to Chelsea after completing Arsenal move

Noni Madueke has said his goodbyes to Chelsea after completing a £48m summer transfer to London rivals Arsenal. The 23-year-old winger joined the Blues from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 and played 92 times for Chelsea scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists. He won the Conference League with Chelsea last season and also featured in their successful Club World Cup campaign in June. The winger, who has signed a five-year deal with the Gunners which runs to June 2030, thanked his former teammates and manager before claiming he leaves Chelsea with 'love and admiration'. Madueke wrote on Instagram: 'Dear Chelsea Football Club, 'I want to thank you for the last 3 or so years. To every staff member that helped me along this journey, thank you. To my teammates thank you for everything, I leave with only love and admiration for you guys. We achieved so much this season and I honestly wish you guys nothing but the best. 'To Enzo Maresca, it was a privilege to play under you, thank you for trying to better me as a player and as a person. Lastly thank you to every single Chelsea fan. Thank you for the love, the praise and also the criticism, I appreciate it all. I leave here with nothing but fond memories. 'Love NM11.' As part of their announcement revealing Madueke as a new signing, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, explained why the club wanted to bring him to the Emirates. "We're all so happy to welcome Noni Madueke to the team,' he said. 'Noni is an exciting and powerful young player, with his performances and numbers in recent seasons being of consistently high quality. He is one of the most talented wide forward players in the Premier League. 'At just 23, Noni already brings experience of club and international football, and he knows the Premier League very well. Having seen the quality of Noni's performances up close in recent seasons, we're really excited he is joining us. 'Noni joins our group with familiar England teammates and other players he knows. He will be made to feel at home straight away. His arrival will really improve our squad - we're all thrilled to have him here. From all of us, welcome Noni and welcome to your family.'
