According to Team Talk, Arsenal are plotting a move to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle this summer. The Gunners have added David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori on permanent deals so far. The club is working to sign Mikel Merino to add depth in the midfield. Mikel Arteta has not made a blockbuster signing this season so far. The club understands the manager’s need for a striker to provide competition for Gabriel Jesus. Striker Eddie Nketiah’s departure is imminent, prompting the urgency.
Arsenal have chosen Isak as their dream striker man up front. Newcastle value the 24-year-old at around £180m. If Arsenal were to sign him, the Swede would become the second-most expensive player of all time behind Neymar following his £198m switch to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in 2017.
The Gunners are desperate to win major titles this season after missing out on winning the Premier league twice by a whisker. The club understands that they must improve their squad to the next level to compete with the likes of Man City and Chelsea. In this generation, the club which spends money wisely, dominates the game. Arsenal have taken their notes in order to dethrone the Cityzens.
Arsenal signing Alexander Isak would break the internet. It has been a long time since the club have announced a blockbuster signing at the Emirates. The North London club have monitored the Swede’s progress since last two years and they believe he can lead the club to glory.
‘Alexander the Great’ Isak and Arsenal match made in heaven?
Arsenal are desperate to sign a quality striker this season. The club prefers someone who is experienced and fits the manager’s play style. Alexander Isak fits the bill perfectly. The 24 year old has the advantage of youth and has been killing it in the Premier league ever since he joined the Magpies.
Isak scored 25 goals in 40 appearances last season and was the third top scorer in the Premier League behind Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer. He has netted 35 times in just 2 seasons for the Premier league club. He has also scored 44 goals in the Spanish first division for Real Sociedad.
His stellar performances attracted many clubs across Europe. Man City, Man United, Chelsea, and Barcelona were all linked with him before he moved to Newcastle. The striker’s performance began to improve further in the English top division. Football pundits find him similar to Thierry Henry due to his pace and ability to navigate through defence. His ability to finish from difficult situations make him stand out from others.
Arsenal and Isak would be a match made in heaven. A player of his quality when backed by players like Odegaard and Saka would be a different beast! The fans see a reflection of Henry inside him and feel that he could bring back the glory days of the Emirates if he joins them.
The Gunners face the ever resilient Wolves’: What to expect from this game?
Arsenal begin their Premier league campaign against Wolves on Saturday. The Gunners will be desperate to get off to a winning start and boost their title aspirations from the start. The feeling inside the dressing room is positive and things should go in their way because their squad is far more superior than that of Wolves. The Gunners will also have the home advantage that gives them the edge over the weakened Wolves’ side who lost their main star Pedro Neto to Chelsea.
Riccardo Calafiori is expected to make his official Arsenal debut at the Emirates. The fans are excited about this ‘Maldini regen’ and hope to see him perform well in the red and white kit.
It is a must win game for Arsenal as they have very difficult fixtures ahead. They will face Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham, all away from home. They must be careful and not take Wolves lightly because they are known to surprise big teams often.
Kai Havertz and Zinchenko are expected to start the game on Saturday while Timber is back in training but not fit to start.
