Newcastle boss Eddie Howe insists there's no rush to offer Alexander Isak a new contract despite rumours linking the striker with Arsenal.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe insists he is relaxed about Alexander Isak ’s contract situation and does not see an ‘issue’, despite rumours linking Arsenal with the forward.

After scoring 25 goals for Newcastle last season, Isak was linked with a move to Chelsea and Arsenal over the summer but the club were determined to keep hold of him. He has since endured a frustrating start to the new season with one goal in seven appearances so far.
