McCoist advises Arteta that the £150 million transfer target for Arsenal possesses all necessary qualities.
Ally McCoist, a well-known football pundit, has recently made a bold statement regarding Arsenal's transfer target, Alexander Isak. According to McCoist, the 25-year-old Swedish striker is currently the best all-round player in the Premier League. This may come as a surprise to some, as Isak had a slow start to the season with Newcastle, but has since regained his form and has been scoring goals consistently.

There have been rumors for a while now about Arsenal's interest in Isak, especially since he used to play alongside current Arsenal players Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino at Real Sociedad. However, Newcastle is not willing to let go of their prized asset in the January transfer window. They have put a hefty price tag of £150 million on Isak and have not made any progress in negotiations for a new contract with the player.

McCoist, while acknowledging that £150 million may be a bit too high, still believes that Isak is worth every penny. He even went as far as saying that Isak is a better all-round player than Erling Haaland, who is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the world. "I think he's got everything," McCoist said, praising Isak's ability to come short, hold up the ball, and get in behind defenders. He also added that Isak is the only center forward who truly enjoys playing as the lone striker up top.

Isak recently scored his 14th goal of the season against Tottenham, further proving his worth as a top striker. McCoist also noted that Isak offers more than just goals, unlike some other top strikers like Haaland, who can sometimes be anonymous if not given enough service. Isak, on the other hand, always gives his all and contributes in various ways, whether it's scoring headers, tap-ins, or running through the defense.

Former Arsenal player Paul Merson also chimed in, stating that his former club should do whatever it takes to sign Isak this month. However, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe downplayed the significance of Merson's comments, stating that he is used to the constant rumors and focus on his players. Howe emphasized that their main focus is on their upcoming games and keeping their players happy and performing at their best.

In conclusion, while there is a lot of speculation and noise surrounding Isak's potential transfer, Newcastle is determined to keep their star player. McCoist and Merson see Isak as a valuable addition to any team, but for now, it seems like he will remain with Newcastle. However, in the unpredictable world of football, anything can happen, and only time will tell what the future holds for Isak and his potential move to Arsenal.
