Arsenal's captain, Martin Odegaard, could see his wish for a reunion with former teammate Alexander Isak come true if Newcastle decides to part ways with their star striker.
Odegaard and Isak previously formed a successful partnership at Real Sociedad before making their transitions to the Premier League. In light of financial challenges and the need to adhere to league regulations, the Magpies are now considering the sale of valuable assets, including the Sweden international, as confirmed by CEO Darren Eales.

Newcastle's recent financial losses exceeding the allowable limit prompt considerations of squad enhancements dependent on selling prized assets such as Isak, in addition to midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and defender Sven Botman.
However, the Gunners' quest for a new center-forward has become evident, especially when compared to Manchester City and Liverpool, both boasting multiple prolific goal-scorers.
Mikel Arteta's squad lacks a standout figure, with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah struggling for consistency and contributing only eight Premier League goals combined this season.
The Magpies' star could become a potential solution to the North Londoners scoring woes, given his impressive track record in the Premier League since joining the club in 2022.
Despite facing injuries and competition, the 24-year-old has averaged almost a goal every other game, accumulating 24 goals in 50 appearances, including 16 goals in the current season.
