On top of that, Arsenal and Liverpool have both scouted Takefusa Kubo as of late.
Meanwhile, both clubs are also in the market for a new striker. In fact, Arsenal even bid for Ollie Watkins in January.
However, Alexander Isak is Arsenal's dream target, but according to Steve Kay, speaking on KS1 TV, Isak may be more likely to sign for Liverpool than Arsenal.
Kay was asked about the idea of Isak joining Arsenal.
According to the journalist, there's a 4/10 chance that Isak ends up at Arsenal this summer, and a move to Liverpool may be more likely.
Kay reckons Ollie Watkins could join Arsenal in the summer alongside Benjamin Sesko as Arsenal look to add two strikers.
"Someone asked, what are the chances out of 10 that we bring in Alexander Isak?" Kay was asked.
"Oh, five, five or four. He'll cost around £120m. I've seen these reports that Newcastle won't sell, but I've never heard so much rubbish in all my life. If the player wants to go, he will go. That's ridiculous, I don't believe it for one minute.
"The thing is, because Arsenal need numbers, if you buy Isak you just have Isak and Havertz again, so you still have two strikers. I think he's more suited and more likely to go to Liverpool more than Arsenal if I'm being truthful. The noises around Sesko and Watkins and the way we have explained it, that's perfect for Arsenal.
These links emerge just hours before Liverpool face Newcastle in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
Isak will face Liverpool for the sixth time in his career in midweek, and, interestingly, the striker does have a strange record against the Reds over the years.
Indeed, Isak has never actually won a game against Liverpool in his career so far, but he has scored regularly against the Merseyside club.

| Losses | 4 |
| Goals | 3 |
| Assists | 1 |
Liverpool have seen first-hand just how good Isak is, and with Darwin Nunez linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, this may be a situation to keep an eye on.
Isak is a top player, and he'd be an incredible signing for Liverpool if the Reds do indeed decide to make a move this summer.
This is certainly a situation to keep an eye on as Liverpool prepare for what could potentially be a transformative summer transfer window.
