The Gunners need to bring in a new number nine to find the goals they need to win the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta has been all around the houses looking for a new centre-forward in recent times.
However, Arsenal’s top target is Alexander Isak, and writing in his column for The Mail, Graeme Souness has advocated for this signing at the Emirates.
Indeed, Souness says that Arsenal would be the finished article if they had a player like Isak in their team.
Alexander Isak would be perfect for Arsenal
Souness shared his verdict on Arsenal potentially signing the £60m man.
The pundit says that Arsenal would be the finished article if they signed the Newcastle star, claiming that they’d be ready to win either the Premier League or the Champions League with Isak in the side.
Put Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak in that Arsenal team – because he’s the player they want to buy this summer – and you are looking at a side who would be the finished article and ready to get their hands on either of the two big trophies,” Souness wrote.
“The club’s Carabao Cup semi-final this week proved my point. Yes, Arsenal were beaten by Newcastle United, but for me they were the better team.
“Stats never go near to telling the full story of course, but Arsenal had 68 per cent possession in that game, 69.5 per cent possession in the first leg and yet still went out 4-0 on aggregate because they didn’t have anyone to put the ball in the net across those 180 minutes.”
Alexander Isak stats this season
Souness says Isak is exactly the type of signing Arsenal need to make, and he’s not wrong.
Indeed, the Newcastle striker has been on fire this season, and Arsenal saw that first-hand this week.
Arsenal fans criticised William Saliba after he struggled to deal with Isak this week, and that isn’t the first time this season that Isak has tormented a defence.
Indeed, Isak’s stats this season show just how effective he has been.
