Mikel Arteta and Enzo Maresca.

Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly the frontrunners over Chelsea and Arsenal to sign Newcastle United's Alexander Isak, as per Spanish outlet Fichajes.net. The 25-year-old is linked with a move outside the St. James Park in 2025.

Isak has been on the radar of top European clubs such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and more. Blues boss Enzo Maresca sees the Swedish forward as an upgrade for Nikolas Jackson. Meanwhile, Arsenal seek Isak as the long-term replacement for Gabriel Jesus.

However, as per the aforementioned report, both English top-tier clubs have suffered a major blow in Isak's transfer race as PSG are ready to offer a €100 million contract to the 25-year-old.
