Arsenal want a new striker and a new winger with Olise available for £65m because of a release clause in his contract, while it is thought Isak is worth about £100m to the Magpies.
Fabrizio Romano: Maybe Arsenal can look for that kind of player
Romano wrote in his Caught Offside column in February: I expect there to be a big race for Michael Olise this summer. I think Manchester United could be there because they appreciate the player, of course we have to wait for the new director to come in to decide what’s the strategy, what’s the budget, how much they want to invest in that position.
We know that Manchester United would also be busy for a centre-back, probably a left-back from what I’m told, and then a centre-striker, so they have some positions to cover, so let’s see how much of the budget they want to invest on a player like Michael Olise.
Chelsea also had an interest in the past, so I think it’s going to be an interesting one for these two clubs and let’s see if someone else will move because maybe Arsenal can look for that kind of player. I think it’s still an open race, nothing is decided yet.
