Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak has been voted as the Premier League Player of the Month following an astonishing goal-scoring performance in December.

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has won the Premier League's player of the month award for December. The Sweden forward scored eight goals and provided two assists for Newcastle, who won four of their six league matches in the month.

Newcastle United's £150m asking price for striker Alexander Isak is expected to be enough to prevent Arsenal from pursuing a transfer, a report has claimed. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is a long-time admirer of Isak and was on the receiving end of the Swede's 15th goal in all competitions this season when Newcastle left the Emirates with a 2-0 advantage in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg in midweek.

Arsenal are unlikely to be able to afford the record-breaking transfer fee required to sign Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, according to reports. The Sweden international has been coveted by the Gunners in the past with interest dating back to his time at Real Sociedad.
