Ex-England striker Les Ferdinand believes Arsenal will ‘win the Premier League’ if they sign one player before the transfer deadline. Arsenal trail Premier League leaders Liverpool by six points with 15 games remaining. The Gunners have come agonisingly close to winning the title over the past two seasons, finishing narrowly behind Pep Guardiola’s record-breaking Manchester City team.

Man City’s shocking drop-off has given other teams a chance of ending their stranglehold over the Premier League trophy but Arsenal look set to miss out once again as Liverpool eye glory in Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield. Mikel Arteta’s side can certainly not be ruled out of the title race, however, and Ferdinand believes the north London club would end their 21-year wait for a Premier League trophy if they signed Alexander Isak.

Isak is believed to be Arsenal’s dream transfer target but is expected to stay at St James’ Park as Newcastle United value him at more than £100m. Sweden star Isak has scored 54 goals in 92 games for Newcastle and 18 in his last 18 appearances in all competitions.
Ferdinand believes Isak would take Arsenal to another level and says he has the potential to establish himself as one of the best strikers in Premier League history. ‘Listen, right now he is without a doubt the best striker in Europe,’ Ferdinand, who played for Newcastle as well as Tottenham and Queens Park Rangers, told Swedish outlet Expressen.
