Arsenal handed boost in Alexander Isak pursuit?

Arsenal-linked attacker Alexander Isak is reportedly ready to leave Real Sociedad this summer if they fail to qualify for European competition for the 2022-23 season.

The Sweden international has only managed to bag five goals in 25 La Liga appearances during a difficult season, but his patchy form is not thought to have deterred Arsenal's interest.

With Isak struggling for goals, Sociedad have dropped out of contention for a Champions League place, and their current sixth-placed standing would only be enough for a spot in the Europa Conference League.

According to Fichajes, should Sociedad fail to qualify for any continental competition, Isak will be leading the exodus from the club over the summer.

The report adds that Adnan Januzaj, David Silva and Robin Le Normand could also be on their way out in that scenario, although Isak is thought to possess a £75m clause in his Sociedad deal, which does not expire until 2026.

Newcastle United and Manchester United have also been credited with an interest in the 22-year-old, who has amassed a total of 41 goals in 122 games for Imanol Alguacil's team.
