Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Newcastle star Alexander Isak potentially joining Arsenal. Former Tottenham player Jamie O'Hara believes that Arsenal should do everything in their power to sign Isak, as he sees him as a key player who could help them win the Premier League title.
Despite facing two separate groin injuries this season, Isak has had a fantastic campaign and is currently Newcastle's top scorer with 24 goals in all competitions. However, there have been rumors swirling about Isak's future, with both Arsenal and Tottenham reportedly interested in signing the 24-year-old for a whopping £100 million.
Newcastle manager Howe has repeatedly stated that Isak is not for sale and the club is even ready to offer him a new and improved contract to keep him at St James' Park. However, the speculation continues to grow and O'Hara believes that Isak would be the perfect addition to Arsenal's front line, comparing him to legendary striker Thierry Henry.
"I would go all out and try to sign Isak," O'Hara said on Sky Sports News. "I don't know if the situation changes at Newcastle with the new rules coming in, but if they do need to sell, then I would spend £100 million on Isak. He's the type of player who can lead you to a Premier League title."
O'Hara also expressed confidence in Arsenal's potential to win the league next season, even if they fall short this year. He believes that with their strong recruitment and potential signings, they will be a top contender for the title next season.
Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer Alan Shearer also stressed the importance of keeping Isak at Newcastle, stating that it would be "absolutely bonkers" to let him go.
"He's a very good player, a modern-day forward," Shearer said. "He's had some injuries this season, but when he's on the pitch, he's been magnificent. He's quick and intelligent, and he would be a huge asset for Newcastle. It would be a mistake to sell him."
In conclusion, it seems that Isak's future at Newcastle is uncertain, but Arsenal and Tottenham are both keeping a close eye on him. O'Hara and Shearer both believe that Isak could be the missing piece for Arsenal's Premier League title ambitions, and it remains to be seen if the Gunners will make a move for him in the upcoming transfer window.
