Arsenal plan fresh move for Swedish star

Arsenal are prepared to make a fresh attempt to sign Alexander Isak during the summer transfer window.

The north London giants were heavily linked with the Real Sociedad striker in January, but a deal never materialised.

He was touted to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but the latter ended up leaving without a replacement in place.

The Gunners were put off by the hefty £66m release clause, and they have not changed their stance on the valuation.

According to Sport, the Gunners plan to make a fresh approach this summer, but only if Sociedad accept a lesser sum.

Isak has had a tough season with just eight goals across all competitions, and this could provide room for negotiations.

Still, the Gunners face another potential stumbling block with the striker said to prefer a move to Barcelona during the summer.

The Catalan giants are long-term admirers of Isak. It is reported that they see him as an alternative to Erling Braut Haaland.
