It’s no secret that Arsenal will be recruiting a top striker this summer. The only question is, who will it be: Viktor Gyökeres, Alexander Isak, or Benjamin Šeško?
Following David Ornstein’s comments on Sunday night, speculation suggests Viktor Gyökeres could be the striker Arsenal fans should anticipate. The Sporting CP forward is reportedly affordable, with a potential price tag of at least £55 million, and he boasts an impressive goal-scoring record.
However, not all Gooners are sold on the idea of signing Gyökeres. Some believe he may not be the ideal fit for Arsenal’s style of play. For those who harbour doubts, there’s an exciting development regarding Arsenal’s striker search. According to The Athletic, Mikel Arteta has a preferred option—and it’s not Gyökeres.
The publication claims Arteta has his sights set on Alexander Isak. While securing Isak may prove challenging, the report suggests Arsenal are the team to watch when it comes to the Premier League striker’s future.
Isak has established himself as one of the Premier League’s finest strikers. He has been scoring goals with remarkable ease, boasting 19 goals and 5 assists in 25 matches. A constant menace to defenders, he has given Gabriel and William Saliba a taste of his quality first-hand. He’s the kind of player who can elevate any Premier League side to the next level.
If Arteta wants him, Gooners should feel confident that he could end up joining their project. Speaking to reporters, Arteta recently hyped up the significance of this summer transfer window. “It’s going to be a big one, and we are very excited about it,” he said.
“It is going to be a big one”

The striker position is clearly Arsenal’s transfer priority. But how thrilling would the summer be if the coach isn’t able to secure his preferred target? Isak to Arsenal is a deal I’m excited about—hopefully, you are too. Let’s see how this unfolds eh Gooners?

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link…
well he should have bought him 2-3 years ago ! Too expensive now and why would Newcastle sell him?
Another non starter for sure. What will Mikel do with GabJ? Pay him 13.5M / year to warm the bench? And Kai? Pay him 15.5M/year to be no3 choice? These are all media hypes. Either Mudryk / NKunku or both to replace Martinelli / CF squad depth. Even after 5 years, some fans remain gullible to suspect false rumors.
After seeing the likes of Joao Felix, Dawin Nunus and Fernandez of Chelsea being brought for huge sums of money and struggle after coming from Portuguese league i hope arsenal wouldn’t consider bringing in Gyokeres. Isak is a good striker but in injuries and the sum of money Newcastle want would be a good deal at £120M that would be too much, so i would hope arsenal go for the likes of Sesko,Delap and even Jonathan David.
Sesko and Jonathan David would be preferred to than using that whole for just Isak which Newcastle are unwilling to sell. Besides, Newcastle are likely to qualify for Europe and this makes it more difficult.
Pay whatever ever Newcastle wants and bring him in
He is the final piece to complete our team
