Ray Parlour says Alexander Isak has ‘got to be’ considered the ‘dream signing’ for Arsenal this summer, likening the striker to club legend Thierry Henry.
The likes of Isak, Benjamin Sesko, Alvaro Morata and Dusan Vlahovic were all linked before Ollie Watkins became Arsenal’s main focus with the transfer deadline approaching.
Isak, 25, has established himself as one of the most sought-after forwards in world football since arriving in the Premier League from Real Sociedad back in 2022, racking up 54 goals in 94 appearances for Newcastle.
Speaking in the build-up to Arsenal’s Carabao Cup elimination, Arteta admitted he was left ‘disappointed’ by the club’s failure to capture a striker in January.
Earlier this week, Manchester United great Paul Scholes suggested the Sweden international should be aiming for a ‘bigger and better’ club than Arsenal.
