Arsenal must and should have a goal guarantor at the top. The London club have attempted striker signings in several transfer windows, most recently Ollie Watkins in January, but have so far failed to reach the target of the selected candidates. Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyökere, Victor Osimhen, Watkins, Lautaro Martinez and Alexander Isak. All of them have been linked to Arsenal, now comes an opening for the latter.
There is little doubt that Isak will be a dream singer for Arsenal and Arteta. Martin Ødegaard knows the Swede well from his time at Real Sociedad, where the two Scandinavians showed potential for sparkling good interaction. Arsenal are missing a striker who shows he can deliver in the world’s toughest league, the Swedish international’s 17 goals in 23 Premier League games so far this season says it all.
Jamie Carragher named Isak the best striker in the Premier League this season, transfer journalist Romano confirms the Newcastle star is Arsenal’s dream signing.
Arsenal have previously been kept at a distance from Isak signing with Newcastle’s £150 million price tag, but now something is in the works.
Teamtalk’s sources claimed the claim has dropped to £120 million, now Spanish Sport Isak claims could be available on the market this summer for £85 million.
Why the sudden drop in prices?
If Newcastle fail to qualify for the Champions League next season, new spending will have to be cut or sales revenue increased. An Alexander Isak for under £100 million would be a guaranteed sale, while Newcastle would be left with a significant profit (paid around £63 million in 2022.
For Arsenal, this means a path to the dream signing.
