Liverpool ready to battle Arsenal for 21-goal striker

Liverpool could go head-to-head with Arsenal to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak during the summer transfer window, according to The Telegraph.

The Sweden international has been in sensational form for the Magpies this term. He has netted 21 goals from 30 appearances in all competitions.

The Gunners are contemplating a summer approach for the striker, but The Telegraph claim that the Reds could enter the pursuit for the former Real Sociedad man.

The league leaders are prepared to part ways with Darwin Nunez at the end of the campaign. The Uruguayan could secure a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League.

The Reds are prepared to reinvest funds into a marquee striker. Isak has emerged as one of the top names on their radar, but it won't be easy to land his services.

Isak remains committed to the Magpies at the moment, but the scenario could completely change if the Tyneside outfit miss out on Champions League football.
