Tottenham Hotspur are known to be looking for a new, elite-level striker this summer, and it seems the club may have already made an approach for one of the very best in the Premier League.
According to a report from Gianluca Di Marzio, Newcastle United desperately need to sell a player before the end of the month to get their finances in order to appease Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
It is claimed Tottenham have been trying to take advantage of that situation by attempting to prise Alexander Isak away from the Magpies.
Newcastle are thought to have “received offers” for the Swedish striker, one of which came from Spurs. The exact nature and value of the proposal is unknown, but it is believed Newcastle were “offered Richarlison plus a balance.”
The offer was rejected and it remains to be seen whether Spurs will return with an improved deal in the future.
It has previously been suggested that Isak would be too expensive (The Athletic) and there is even a belief he will be signing a new contract with Newcastle in the near future (TBR Football).
However, according to Football Insider, Tottenham regard the 24-year-old as the perfect ‘marquee’ signing they have been looking for and it is thought the Lilywhites would be willing to break their transfer record to make it happen.
Isak scored 25 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions for the Magpies last season, 21 of which came in the Premier League (Transfermarkt).

Obviously, Newcastle are going to be very reluctant to let Isak go, but we have to keep going back for him and get this deal done.
I’d rather us keep Richarlison, too, but if he has to go to make the transfer happen, then so be it. Isak would transform our team.
