Newcastle United are scouting new strikers in preparation for the summer, as Liverpool are expected to make a move for Alexander Isak.
The Magpies could be in a difficult position in the coming weeks and months, as Isak’s impressive form is likely to attract strong interest, making it harder for them to keep him.
Sources close to the situation have informed *CaughtOffside* that Liverpool are set to intensify their pursuit of Isak, with concrete steps expected soon.
Although Newcastle are reluctant to sell the Swedish forward, they have been quietly making contingency plans in case of his departure.
### Who Could Replace Alexander Isak at Newcastle?
Newcastle have several high-profile strikers on their radar, with Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres being a long-term target.
Additionally, *CaughtOffside* understands that the club is increasingly interested in Porto’s Samu Aghehowa, who is expected to attract significant attention this summer.
Aghehowa was also pursued by Chelsea last year, and the Blues remain keen on him. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Aston Villa are monitoring the young forward, and Bayern Munich and Tottenham are now also considering making a move. This means Newcastle could face stiff competition for his signature.
Replacing a player of Isak’s caliber will be a major challenge, but Newcastle must be prepared, as he has the quality to thrive at a top club like Liverpool.
With Mohamed Salah’s future uncertain as his contract nears its end, Liverpool may see Isak as a crucial addition to their squad.
