Alexander Isak is one of the finest strikers in the Premier League, and Arsenal has followed the Swede since he played for Real Sociedad.
Isak has been a key reason Newcastle has reemerged as a top club in the English top flight and continues to be linked with a move away.
The Gunners need a new goalscorer after watching Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus fail to score enough goals.
Mikel Arteta’s side considers signing a new frontman a priority and could move for one in the summer. Should that be Isak?
Newcastle are an ambitious club who have competed with Arsenal for some fine talents, and it will be difficult for them to lose Isak to the Gunners.
However, does he even fit into what Arsenal is trying to do in North London? Frank McAvennie thinks so and tells Football Insider:
“I think he would be excellent at Arsenal.
“He’s energetic, he’s quick and a great player.
“Now will decide how good a manager Mikel Arteta is because a lot of things are going belly-up.
“They’re not winning games they should be and people are finding them out – they need a striker.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Isak has been one of the most consistently good strikers in the Premier League, and the Swede is a very sharp finisher.
What our current team lacks is a player who can put the ball in the back of the net and he might be the solution.

Yes he’s certainly playing well and I’d like us to sign him but, he’s Newcastle’s star striker (the Geordies love a good striker like Shearer, SuperMac etc), he’s not for sale, we can’t afford him and most of all, because of PSR/FFP
We all ought to be able assume that pundits, who are paid for doing their job, by speaking on football and on matches, OUGHT to be able to THINK before speaking.
PLAINLY, it has not penetrated McAvennies thick skull that something called FFP is rife and has bared its teath already, esp to Everton and Forest.
It sounds as though McAvennie cannot ever have heard of the EXISTENCE of FFP. Sigh!!
And even if it did not exist, if thicko McAvennie seriously thinks Newcastle will lightly let their top scoring forward leave, he is, how shall I put this politely… er BONKERS!
@ jon fox, what about loan deals? I still believe we can win the EPL title this season.
We need a better second half. Nketiah and G. Jesus cant be relied upon to get the required goals. Something has to change. Maybe playing Havertz as a 9 is the best we can do at the moment. ESR should play in the Xhaka role
Then I hope you are enjoying your fantasy.
PERSONALLY, I FAR PREFER REALISM AND NOT SELF FOOLING MYSELF
We should also sign Mbappe and Haaland as back up for AI
This one was never going to happen, Vlohovic is a more practical target if a deal can be struck
If we bid 100m in the summer I wouldn’t be against the move. Newc paid 70m for him so I suspect it’ll go over the 100 mark. He should have inserted a buyout option so long as top clubs come calling, it’ll be a difficult deal to go through
