Signing one player could be the key to Arsenal's success and potentially lead them to winning the league.

Mikel Arteta's tenure as manager of Arsenal has brought the team close to winning the Premier League, but they have yet to claim the coveted title. However, according to former Premier League striker Troy Deeney, this could all change if the Gunners were to sign Newcastle United's Alexander Isak. Deeney believes that Isak's addition to the team would put them in a prime position to win the league, leaving their competitors in a difficult spot.

Isak has been on Arsenal's radar for a while now, with rumors of a potential transfer swirling since his record-breaking move to Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022. The Swedish striker has established himself as one of the most consistent forwards in England, scoring an impressive 41 goals in just 67 league games over the past three seasons. Despite Arteta's interest in signing a new striker last summer, he ultimately chose to stick with his current options, opting to use Kai Havertz as a false nine for most of this season. However, this decision has not yielded the desired results, as Arsenal have struggled to find the back of the net.

Currently sitting in third place in the league standings, Arsenal are desperate to finally claim the Premier League title after being narrowly beaten by Manchester City in the past two seasons. However, their hopes of doing so are challenged by the emergence of surprise title contenders Chelsea, who are just two points ahead of them, and Liverpool, who hold a four-point lead and a game in hand. Deeney believes that if Arsenal were to secure Isak's services, they would have a clear advantage and could potentially clinch the title.

But it seems that Isak's future lies with Newcastle, at least for now. The striker is contracted to the club for another three-and-a-half years, and manager Eddie Howe is determined to keep him at St James' Park. After Isak scored a hat-trick in a recent game against Ipswich Town, Howe expressed his admiration for the young player and his importance to the team's long-term plans. He also praised Isak's desire to score goals and his team-oriented mindset, highlighting his popularity among his teammates.

As for contract talks, they have not yet started, but Howe is confident that when the time comes, they will be positive. Isak's representatives and the club will discuss his future, and Howe hopes that he will contribute to helping Newcastle win a trophy. The team will rely on Isak's goal-scoring abilities as they face Aston Villa on Boxing Day. Meanwhile, Arsenal will have to wait until their next game against Ipswich to continue their pursuit of the Premier League title.
