Ian Wright worries that Alexander Isak will turn down Arsenal in the summer to join a rival Premier League club instead.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has expressed his concerns that Alexander Isak, the prolific Newcastle United striker, might snub Arsenal in favor of a move to a rival Premier League club. Wright’s worries stem from Isak’s impressive form this season and the intense competition among top clubs to secure his signature.
Alexander Isak has been a standout performer for Newcastle United, scoring 19 goals in 24 Premier League games this season. His remarkable goal-scoring ability has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool. With Newcastle potentially missing out on Champions League football next season, Isak’s future at the club remains uncertain.
Arsenal has been in dire need of a proven No. 9, especially after losing Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz to season-ending injuries. The Gunners have been heavily linked with Isak, and Mikel Arteta is reportedly keen on bringing the Swedish striker to the Emirates Stadium. However, the competition for Isak’s signature is fierce, with Liverpool also showing strong interest.
Speaking on the “Stick to Football” podcast, Ian Wright shared his thoughts on Isak’s potential move. Wright believes that Isak is worth a hefty £120 million and would be a valuable addition to any top club. When asked whether Isak would prefer to join Arsenal or Liverpool, Wright admitted that the striker would probably choose Liverpool over Arsenal.
The race to sign Alexander Isak is heating up, with both Arsenal and Liverpool vying for his services. Wright’s concerns highlight the challenges Arsenal faces in securing top talent amid stiff competition from rival clubs. As the summer transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen which club will ultimately win the battle for Isak’s signature.
