Jamie O’Hara has urged Tottenham Hotspur to do what it takes to secure the services of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak this summer.
Over the last few months, several outlets have backed Tottenham to enter the market for a marquee centre-forward, with the Lilywhites thought to be on the lookout for an heir to Harry Kane (Football Insider).
Isak is rumoured to be one of the names on Tottenham’s radar, with The Sun claiming at the start of April that the Magpies might have to sell some of their players in order to comply with FFP regulations.
The publication revealed that Newcastle were bracing themselves for bids from both Spurs and Arsenal for the centre-forward, who they allegedly value at £100m.
The two North London clubs’ interest in Isak was subsequently backed up by Football Insider, who added that Ange Postecoglou’s men have allocated a big portion of the summer budget to sign a top-class number nine of the Swede’s stature.
Jamie O’Hara wants Isak at Tottenham
O’Hara has admitted that he would love to see the 24-year-old PL star come to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.
The former Spurs midfielder told talkSPORT (27/4/24, 5:34 pm): “We would love Isak at Tottenham. Let’s get him in. What a player he is!”
Spurs Web Opinion
While Tottenham do need a game-changing signing upfront, Isak is not a realistic target. Not only does the Swede seem happy at St James Park but Newcastle would not be willing to let him go unless they receive a mammoth offer.
While the Magpies do have to sell some players due to their PSR issues, they have many other sellable assets in their squad and it does seem like they are likely to sacrifice Bruno Guimaraes this summer.
