Alexander Isak has pledged his future to Newcastle after being linked with a summer move to Arsenal.

The Gunners are long-term admirers of the Swedish striker, who is Newcastle’s top scorer this season with 19 goals.

The Magpies are reportedly struggling to adhere to Profit and Sustainability regulations, which has sparked talk they may cash in on one of their big stars this summer.

Isak joining Arsenal was mooted as a possibility, but the 24-year-old has revealed he is happy at Newcastle.

“Of course I want to be here in the future,” he said.

“I came here for the project, I absolutely love playing here, I really feel at home. I want to finish this season in a good way for me and the team. I love playing here.”

Newcastle have competed in the Champions League this season, but they are struggling to qualify for Europe this year.

After drawing with Everton on Tuesday, the Magpies are eighth in the Premier League and a point off West Ham in seventh - although they do have a game in hand.

Asked if his future would be tied to whether Newcastle qualified for Europe, Isak said: “I don’t want to entertain these type of questions and rumours.

“It’s not my position. I love playing, we have important games, there’s no focus [on my future], I just want to do good for the team.”

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has also expressed his desire to keep Isak, and said earlier this week: “He’s an outstanding talent and no one connected with Newcastle would want to lose him.”
