Paul Merson urges Arsenal to 'break the bank' for Mikel Arteta's No.1 transfer target Arsenal should do whatever it takes to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle in January, according to Paul Merson.
With [Kai] Havertz coming back as well, he wasn’t well, it pushes Havertz back to midfield, but Havertz, naturally as a forward, will get in the box and there’s an extra body in there.
“What I like about [Gabriel] Jesus is he’s got back in the team this time around and he’s gone, 'You know what, I’m going to get in the box, I need to score goals if I’m going to stay at this football team', and that’s what he’s done.
The Gunners have aspirations of chasing down Liverpool in the second half of the season as they bid to land their first Premier League title in over 20 years, but Mikel Arteta's squad are short on firepower.
Isak has been linked with Arsenal on more than occasion and is understood to be the striker Arteta desires more than any other, the Spaniard a huge fan of the Sweden international.
