Arsenal wants to sign a player worth £100m who is considered to be better than Gabriel Jesus.

Gabriel Jesus, the current striker for Arsenal, has been facing a lackluster season with the team. However, their £100m transfer target, Alexander Isak, seems to be on a completely different level. This is according to Arsenal legend Paul Merson, who believes that Isak would be the perfect addition to a team vying for the Premier League title.

Despite two consecutive draws, Arsenal bounced back with a resounding 5-1 victory against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Jesus played a key role in this win, scoring two goals and continuing his recent revival. Just a few days earlier, he had scored a hat-trick against the same team in the Carabao Cup. While Jesus was initially praised for raising the bar at Arsenal after his £50m transfer from Manchester City in 2022, he only managed to score four league goals last season and has struggled to find the back of the net this season, with just one goal in 20 matches.

Rumors suggest that Arsenal is interested in adding more firepower to their attack during the January transfer window. However, it remains to be seen if Jesus' recent upturn in form will change their plans. Merson believes that his former club would greatly benefit from signing a new striker and that Isak, in particular, would cause major problems for their rivals if he were to join the team in North London.

Isak, who is currently thriving at Newcastle United, was signed in a club-record deal from Real Sociedad in 2022. The 25-year-old Swedish international has been in top form, scoring 41 goals in 67 league games for the Magpies. Merson stands by his belief that Isak would have been the perfect addition to Arsenal's attacking lineup, stating that he is on a completely different level compared to Jesus.

Isak's talent was on full display in Newcastle's recent 4-0 win against Ipswich Town, where he scored a hat-trick, taking his tally for the season to 11 goals in just 18 games. Despite interest from Arsenal and other clubs, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has expressed his desire to keep Isak at the club and believes he is a crucial part of their long-term plans.

When asked if Isak can be convinced to stay at Newcastle, Howe replied that he doesn't believe it will be an issue at this stage. He added that the 25-year-old is motivated and has big aspirations for his career, and he would love for him to contribute to the team's success and potentially win a trophy.

Recently, Manchester United hero Dwight Yorke urged Arsenal to make a move for Isak, stating that if they are serious about winning the Premier League, they should be willing to spend £100m on him. Yorke believes that Arsenal has been missing a number nine and that Isak would be the perfect solution. He also expressed his confusion as to why Arsenal didn't act upon the opportunity to sign him from Real Sociedad, allowing Newcastle to swoop in and secure the deal instead.

In conclusion, it is clear that Isak's talent and potential have not gone unnoticed, with many believing that he would be a valuable addition to any team, including Arsenal. His impressive performances for Newcastle have caught the attention of top clubs, but the Magpies are determined to keep him at the club. Only time will tell if Arsenal will make a move for Isak and if he will be the missing piece that helps them achieve their goal of winning the Premier League title.
