Arsenal could make a real splash in the transfer market by signing a new striker this summer.
The Gunners are said to be very keen on signing a new striker, and some big names have been linked.
The likes of Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres have been touted as potential targets, but perhaps the most intriguing link has been to Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.
Isak is said to be someone Arsenal are keen on, and according to Tony Cascarino, speaking on The Game Football Podcast, the Newcastle star would be perfect for Arsenal.
Alexander Isak perfect for Arsenal
Cascarino shared his verdict on the striker, claiming that Arsenal should spend up to £100m to get him.
“For me the perfect centre-forward for the way they play would be Isak at Newcastle. If he became available that’s the big one I’d do,” Cascarino said.
“If Isak is available for 80, 90, 100 million, like they were aggressive with Declan Rice. If you could get him, that changes Arsenal for me. That’s the type of transfer I’m referring to, you don’t just want a centre-forward it has to be a type of centre-forward.”
Alexander Isak would be a gamechanger
It’s tough to be a gamechanging signing for a team that has just won 89 points in the Premier League, but Isak has the ability to do just that at Arsenal.
The Newcastle man is genuinely one of the most complete strikers in world football, and if Arsenal managed to get hold of him, they’d be a scary force going forwards.
Of course, getting such a deal done won’t be easy, but as the Gunners showed with their pursuit of Declan Rice last summer, they mean business in the transfer market once they set their sights on a target.
Let’s see if Arsenal can get this deal done this summer.
