Indeed, Fabrizio Romano says Arsenal will definitely sign a striker this summer, and there’s one player who is at the top of the north London club’s transfer list.
The pundit reckons William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes will both have told Mikel Arteta to sign Isak this summer after running them ragged in their meetings this season
Ian Wright reckons William Saliba has recommended Alexander Isak signing
Wright spoke about Arsenal’s links to Saliba and Isak’s performances against the Gunners.
The pundit says that Saliba and Gabriel will definitely have told Mikel Arteta to sign Isak after he caused the Gunners all sorts of problems this season.
“Watching him against Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes was torture, he gave them a torrid time, he could run at them, back into them, link the play, run beyond them,” Wright said.
“Watching a centre-forward like this is very exciting, because you don’t see it. To watch my two centre-halves get run ragged like that is probably why he’s been linked.
“There’s no way Saliba and Gabriel are not saying to Mikel ‘we’ve got to go and get that guy.’ That’s how it works. He can do everything in the way he’s playing.”
Alexander Isak stats vs Arsenal this season
Isak has faced off against Arsenal three times this season, and each time, he’s caused the north London club untold problems.
Indeed, Isak has been a serious pain in the neck for Arsenal this season, as the stats show.
Alexander Isak stats vs Arsenal this season
Games 3
Goals 2
Shots 6
Shots on target 5
Key passes 3
As solid as Isak’s stats against Arsenal are, they don’t even tell the full story.
As Wright says, Isak was causing all sorts of problems against Arsenal with his movement and his ability to bully defenders, and that really isn’t something that can be put into numbers.
Make no mistake about it, Isak is a world class player, and if Arsenal sign Isak they may well be favourites to win the Premier League next season.
Liverpool have been linked with Isak too, so winning this race certainly won’t be easy.
