Newcastle United star Alexander Isak says that he can achieve all of his football ambitions at St James’ Park.
Despite intense talk of interest from Arsenal and Liverpool he was asked if he can fulfil his best career moments in a black and white shirt and he told Chronicle Live: “That’s why I came here.” Isak confirmed that talks about his future will take place at the end of the season about a possible extension although his current deal runs until 2028.
A remarkably released Isak, speaking at Newcastle’s pre-match Press conference ahead of the Carabao Cup final, said he was open to contract talks and said: “Yeah, as I have said. I am not really thinking about the summer yet.
“That will be a talking point when the season is finished. No talks have been held yet.”
But then, when talking about his ambitions at Newcastle, Isak said: “I mean, that is why I came here. I have said many times that I don’t really think too much about my future. I have said many times I am happy here and we are competing for titles which is what you want as a football player. We have been to one final and now we are in another one.
“The chances are there. We should look at it one season at a time, and this season we can win a trophy. I have said many times I am focused on doing a job. All of our focus is on Sunday and bringing a trophy back.”
Going into the game against Liverpool at Wembley, Isak said he was feeling good and that stories on his injury were “dramatic” takes from the Press. Isak said: “I have not been injured I have just had a bit of tiredness. It has been dramatic.
“I feel good. I am really excited for the game. The best way to prepare is to train as normal. It will come down to what we do as a team, and that is all we can focus on. I am excited but focused on the job.
““I just want to be the best version of myself. I have high ambitions. I am trying to create my own history at Newcastle. Happy with what I have done so far but always looking forward. It’s hard work and training and the mentality to want to get better. I have ambitions to achieve in my career and be the best version of myself.”
When asked about Newcastle’s 70-year domestic trophy drought, Isak said: “I wish it wasn’t that way. It means a lot that we have the chance to change that. We have to be focused on the game and not let the fact that the club hasn’t won anything for a long time get to us.
“Personally I just feel focused and quite relaxed for the game. I am trying to create my own history.”
