Frustration is growing at Arsenal as their attackers have failed to impress this season.
Both Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus has struggled to perform well this season and their lack of consistency may force the Gunners to step into the market to sign a new attacker.
Arsenal’s latest defeat against Newcastle United showed that they need a clinical finisher in the team.
While Arsenal created chances in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal and failed to finish them, Newcastle’s attacker Alexander Isak needed only one chance to start the scoring for his side.
Former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown has told Football Insider that the Gunners will push to sign the Newcastle United attacker.
He also claimed that the Gunners would have to wait till the summer transfer window in order to sign the Sweden international striker.
“I think he’s the best centre-forward in the country all-round,” he told Football Insider.
“He’s got all the qualities of a world-class striker and I could see him playing well in that Arsenal team.
“There’s no doubt Arsenal need to improve their forwards, and from what I’ve heard, there are people at the club that think a new attacker will be vital.
“Isak is their first-choice striker because of all the reasons we’ve spoken about before, but whether they can get a deal over the line is a different question.
“Newcastle will obviously be reluctant to let him go, but Arsenal will push to bring him in.
“If they want to sign Isak, I think they’ll have to wait until the summer, because there will be a lot of money involved and you don’t often see that in January.
“But they’re determined to get it done because he would improve their attacking options, no doubt.”
Alexander Isak to Arsenal?
The Premier League giants have been long term admirers of the attacker but they failed to sign him when he was at Real Sociedad in La Liga.
The Magpies won the race for his signature and since then he has been a huge hit at St James’ Park.
In order to sign him now, Arsenal may have to pay a record Premier League fee and it remains to be seen whether they are willing to go the distance to sign Isak.
His signing would be a game changer for them and solve their issues in front of goal. They lack threat in attack and Havertz and Jesus are both attackers who are decent but not as skillful or prolific as Isak in front of goal.
Having lost the league title in the last two seasons after coming close to winning it, there is a realisation at Arsenal that they may have to splash the cash over a new attacker.

To be honest Isaak is good but not for the price tag of one hundred and fifty million pounds let’s forget that and look on Victor Osimhen or Victor Gyokere i feel both strikers better strikers than Isaak forget what is going on now let’s invest in any one of them after all those two strikers has done it more than Isaak even now he has not scored more than Victor Gyokere and in Sweden Victor Gyokere is ahead of him in striking rates please let’s go for him even in Europe Victor Gyokere is still ahead of Isaak as far as strikers are concerned Victor Osimhen is also ahead of him today is January 10th 2025 no time let’s sit down and make a decision not to call every player that are playing in the world without any one being bought if we are not yet ready let’s keep our mouths shut.
Agreed 💯
True talk dat wat we need
Agree
Dpesn’t make sense to spend that kind of money. Jhon Duran can be better than Isaac. And there are many strikers in the market right now.
The winger I choose is Mbeumo for his constency

150million? No, he is good but not that worth. We need a deadly finisher in order to complete I all four fronts, for now let’s go Gykorees or Vlahovic and we will be good to go, this mus be done now, let them keep Isak..£150M can buy Gyokorès or Vlahovic, Nico Williams plus a back centre back. Then in the summer we concentrate on blending, forget Isak and for reasonable acquisitions.
The three players you have said you would prefer
are no where near Isak. You get what you pay for.
Isak has stated, HES GOING NOWHERE.
ISAK IS THE BEST. HES SKILLFUL AND PROLIFIC.
ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU WOULDNT HAVE ISAK AT THAT PRICE. GREAT . I DONT THINK YOU ARE SPEAKING FOR THE MAJORITY OF ARSENAL SUPPORTERS.
APART FROM THAT, THERE WOULD BE A MASS REVOLT FROM NEWCASTLE SUPPORTERS IF THEY WERE TO EVEN CONSIDER SELLING THE BEST STRIKER IN THE WORLD TO A RIVAL.
victor Gyokeres is the perfect man for Arsenal. 150 million for Isak is not worth it.
Please Aterta sign victor Oshimeh. He is far better than Isak… Faster, stronger, a team player and an upgrade on all current Arsenal attacker put together… Isak is just a black version of Karl.H.
Well when a club spent much in bringing a player they bringing the player down when he comes all eyes Will be on him any little mistake he made the fan and spectators will flag it as if he had committed crime instead of that price let’s use the fifty something or even 60 million pounds and buy Victor Gyokeres and use the remainder to go for some one like Victor Boniface or kudus of westham or any other players that are good understand standard m I am not saying that Alexander Isak is not good but Newcastle are not yet ready to selling him that is the more reason they kept the price too high but Isak is not ahead of Victor Gyokeres both in European league and Sweden Thank God both are Swedish if Victor Gyokeres comes to Arsenal with the type of players they have Victor Gyokeres will hit it big I am not in support of 100,50 millions pounds even lionel Messy Cristiano Rinaldo and Mbappe have not cost like that even the world Rinaldo de Lima will not cost like that even if he was playing now please let’s focus elsewhere all of the big big clubs were in England when Leicester carried premiership trophy what a hell are we talking.
Isak is a prolific striker no doubt but does not worth the price tag placed on him…i think Arsenal should go for vicor oshimen, mbeuno or victor gyokeres same class as isak and worth their prices….
Yes you spoke sense
