Arsenal legend David Seaman revealed that former manager Arsene Wenger believes Alexander Isak of Newcastle United is the ideal signing for Arsenal this summer. During a recent charity dinner, Wenger quickly identified Isak as his top choice over other attacking players linked to the club. Isak's pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability have drawn comparisons to Thierry Henry, making him an attractive option. However, acquiring Isak may prove difficult, as Newcastle seeks to retain their key striker and avoid strengthening a rival team like Arsenal.
I had a dinner with Arsene Wenger, a charity dinner, about three weeks ago. I asked him that question. I said, You're the boss, who would you sign this summer? Isak, he said, as quick as that.
Pacey, skilful, and clinical in front of goal, Isak has a bit of everything to his game, and it's no wonder Wenger perhaps saw something familiar there.
It's hard to imagine any reasonable fee that could convince Newcastle to sell Isak. The Sweden international is one of the best strikers in Europe at the moment.
Newcastle would surely do anything to avoid derailing this project at this point, and strengthening a rival like Arsenal with Isak would just make no sense for them.
