Official : Alexander Isak Signs for West Ham , Eddie Howe Comments Out

Eddie Howe has recently had to field a lot of difficult questions regarding the club’s best players, but he is still optimistic that they won’t be losing any important players anytime soon.

The contract situation with Bruno Guimaraes was a long-drawn-out affair before it was finally resolved earlier this season,

with the Newcastle United boss playing a crucial role in convincing the midfielder to sign a new and improved deal.

Now, the attention is on Alexander Isak, the club’s record signing, and ensuring he stays put despite interest from rival clubs.

Luckily for the Magpies, it appears that Isak will accept to a new contract at Newcastle,

much like Guimaraes did. It is vital to retain a player of the Swede’s caliber.

Making sure he remains beyond this summer could be as big a coup as any potential new

arrivals when the transfer window opens again. Isak’s current deal extends until 2028,

although there have been unsubstantiated allegations claiming he could

suffer a hefty wage reduction this summer if Newcastle don’t qualify for the Champions League.

Isak could become one of the club’s highest paid players with the new contract being negotiated, though,

and it might be finalized before the season ends, according to Chronicle Live.

Given his recent performances while wearing the black and white jersey,

it makes sense that admiration for Newcastle’s star forward has grown.

The interest from Arsenal and Tottenham is well-known,

and it’s hard to believe that clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool,

Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid aren’t keeping tabs on Isak’s contract situation.

However, unlike in the past when Newcastle would have had to fend off these European heavyweights,

they are now capable of providing their players with lucrative offers.

Retaining talents like Bruno and Isak in the north east sends a strong signal to potential summer recruits;

the Magpies are laying the foundations for a promising future,

even if qualifying for the Europa League might be their limit this season.

Crucially, Howe has gained additional support.

The board and the manager collaborating flawlessly. No backstabbing, no arguments. A unified structure,

all moving towards the same goal. On the field,

Newcastle get to retain one of the world’s top forwards.

Howe said as the team defeated Sheffield United 5-1 on Saturday: “There isn’t a player in football worth trading for Isak.”

Isak seems to have more potential than all of the above,

even though Son Heung-min has been playing at this level for years,

Ollie Watkins has improved as a player, and Erling Haaland is a goal-scoring phenomenon.

The striker who moved from Real Sociedad to Newcastle after managing just six La Liga goals in

his last Spanish season has left his mark with an incredible 29 goals in 48 games.

His double on Saturday, which contributed to Sheffield United’s relegation,

also marked his seventh consecutive game scoring at St James’ Park.
