Arsenal again told to pay big money and bring 11-goal star to Emirates

Gunners icon Paul Merson has urged ARSENAL to go all out and buy Alexander Isak from Newcastle in January as the Gunners hope to challenge for the title this year.

Newcastle signed Isak for £63m in the summer of 2022 from Spanish side Real Sociedad and he has four years left on his contract, and Isak is now regarded as one of the best strikers in the Premier League and a forward that all the big clubs have been linked with over the past 12 months, but that £110M asking price has been a real problem for the chasing clubs.

It has been claimed that Chelsea, ARSENAL and Tottenham could make a move in the January window and were reportedly ready to make an offer of £60-80 million in order to tempt Newcastle into getting a transfer deal done.

Isak has subsequently scored 11 goals in 16 Premier League appearances this season and is rediscovering his best form, having scored four of those in his last two matches, and Newcastle now want a whopping £150 million before they will allow the striker to leave the club.

And now Merson has again told his former club to make a move for Isak – He told Sky Sports: “If I was Arsenal and had the money, I’d go out and buy [Alexander] Isak. I’d break the bank for him. He’s the best of the best and takes Arsenal to another level.

“What I like about Jesus is he’s got back into the team and said ‘this time round, I’m going to get in the box and score goals. If I’m going to stay in this team, I need to score goals’ and that’s what he’s done.

“The goal against Brentford was a proper poachers goal and it’s rare we see him in the six yard box, heading them in.”

£150 million is crazy money and nobody will want to pay that, so it may be that clubs wait for Isak’s contract to run down over the next few seasons and then make a move, he is still only young and has plenty of time before making that big move

If ARSENAL want him they will pay big money, but they should not meet this valuation that is for sure.
