Football fans and experts have been debating over who the best striker in the Premier League is, and former manager Harry Redknapp has weighed in on the discussion. According to him, it's not Erling Haaland, who has been lighting up the league since his arrival in 2022 from Borussia Dortmund. Despite scoring an impressive 36 and 27 goals in his first two seasons, the Norwegian has only managed to find the back of the net once in his last five games, as Manchester City's form has started to decline.
Redknapp believes that the title of best striker in the league currently belongs to Alexander Isak, who has been in an impressive goalscoring form for Real Sociedad. In his last eight league games, he has managed to score six goals, including one in their 4-0 victory over Leicester City last weekend. The 77-year-old praised Isak's performance, stating that he could have easily scored three or four goals in that game alone.
The former manager also expressed his surprise that Arsenal did not make a move for the 25-year-old during the summer transfer window. Isak, who has a contract with Newcastle until 2028, has consistently been linked with a move away from the club due to his consistent level of performance. Redknapp believes that he would have been the perfect addition to the Arsenal team, with his ability to come short, get in the box, and spread the game.
Fellow football expert Paul Merson also shared his admiration for Isak, stating that he is a big fan of the striker. He also expressed his surprise that Arsenal did not try to sign him during the summer, as he believes Isak would have been the missing link in the team. Merson praised the Swede's ability to do everything on the field, from coming short to getting in the box and spreading the game. He believes that Arsenal need a player like Isak to open up the game and provide opportunities for players like Odegaard and Saka.
Overall, it seems that both Redknapp and Merson have been impressed by Isak's performance and believe that he is currently the best striker in the Premier League. With his consistent goalscoring form and all-around abilities on the field, it's no surprise that he has caught the eye of these football experts. Only time will tell if Isak will continue to shine and potentially make a move to a bigger club in the future.
