The Magpies are believed to have moved swiftly to secure the highly-rated forward after weeks of intense scouting and internal discussions led by manager Eddie Howe. The French-born Haitian international has now agreed to a long-term contract that will reportedly keep him at St James’ Park until 2031.
Isidor enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with Sunderland, becoming one of the club’s most dangerous attacking threats with his pace, movement, and clinical finishing. His performances attracted attention from several Premier League clubs, but Newcastle ultimately won the race for his signature.
Sources close to the negotiations claim Newcastle view Isidor as a major part of their long-term attacking rebuild as the club continues strengthening its squad for domestic and European competition.
The transfer is expected to spark major reaction from Sunderland supporters due to the fierce rivalry between the two North East clubs. Moves directly between the rivals are extremely rare, making the deal one of the most controversial transfers in recent years.
Speaking after the reported agreement, insiders suggest Isidor was attracted by Newcastle’s ambitious project, Champions League aspirations, and the opportunity to work under Eddie Howe.
Newcastle fans are already celebrating the arrival of the dynamic striker, with many believing he could become one of the Premier League’s breakout stars next season.
Neither club has officially confirmed the transfer at the time of writing.
