The ‘spectacular’ striker Mikel Arteta has identified as being ‘perfect’ for his system at Arsenal
Arsenal still need a new striker.
The Gunne𒉰rs have been looking for a new centre-forward for almost two years at this point, and they’ve gone all around the housesꦍ looking for one.
Arsenal were interested in Ivan Toney at one point, while Arsenal thought they were signing Benjamin Sesko in the summer.
As of yet, Arsenal haven’t signed a new strik🐬er, but they do have some ideas in mind.
Alexander Isak is Arsenal’s top striker target, and according to David Ornstein, speaking on the Sky Sports Back Pages Podcast, not only is Mikel Arteta very keen on Isak, 𒉰he sees him as perfect for his sy𝔍stem at Arsenal.
Alexander Isak seen as perfect for Arsenal
Ornstein share🌳🍌d what he knows about Isak and how Arsenal view the Newcastle ace.
According to tꩵhe journalist, Isak is at the top of Mikel Arteta’s list of targets and he b𝓀elieves he’d be the perfect addition to this team.
Unfor🥂tunately, this deal won’t be easy to do as Newcastle have no intention of selling Isak.
“The way he has developed and flourished is just spectacular, and it probably makes Arsenal rue their missed opportunity. There’s no doubt that he is the player that Mikel Arteta has at the top of his list. If he was to sign a striker, he’s sꦬeen as perfect for Arsenal’s system and everything he offers,” Ornstein said.
“But Newcastle fans will hate hearing that, because they’ve got him under contract for a few years yet. He’s ꦬtheir key pla🐟yer. He’s at the centre of what they and their Saudi-led ownership are doing.
“And they’ve got no intention of see♚ing him go anywhere. They want him to sign a new contract. If they don’t qualify for the Champions League, maybe there’s a consideration, but the price will be phenomenally high.”
“Really, clubs like Arsenal should be looking for the next Alexander Isak, not the one who’s on the market if he was to come on the market. And also, we don’t even know that Isak would want to join Arsenal.𝓡 I think it’s more realistic that Arsenal need to look for other targets, such as a Benjamin Sesko or whoever else is on the market.”
Alexander Isak stats vs Arsenal
It’s not surprising to hear the c𝔉hat around Isak and Arsenal starting up again after Newcastle beat Arsenal in the Caꩵrabao Cup semi-finals.
Isak was incredible against Arsenal on Wednesday evening, but, strangely, t🍎he stats don’t actually showcase just how brilliant he was.

| Shots | 2 |
| Key passes | 1 |
| Dribbles | 1 |
| Goals | 0 |
This wꦚas a performance for the ages from Isak as he ran Willam Saliba ragged at St𒊎 James’ Park.
Saliba is the best defender in the world in the eyes of some, but on Wednesday, even Arsenal fans admitteಞd Saliba was given a tough time by Isak.
That’s exactly the type of striker Arsena🐷l need. Someone who, eve🎐n when they don’t score, is causing so many problems and making things happen.
Isak would be the perfect signing for almost any team at this point, but whether or not it’s possible to get him out of Newcastle is another m♍atter entirely.
