Scholes agreed Isak would take Arsenal "to the next level" after going through the 2024-25 season without a recognised No 9, while also seeing injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, but the legendary ex-midfielder said it would be a "risk" to move to the Emirates.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was adamant Isak would not leave in January and now there has been suggestions Arsenal could move for him in the summer instead - though Scholes has urged the player to "set his sights higher".
Paul Scholes has given a dismissive verdict on the idea of Alexander Isak joining Arsenal, telling the Newcastle forward to aim for "bigger and better" things.
I think Arsenal would be an option but I think they would be down the list of options.
The Swedish striker was heavily linked with Arsenal in the January transfer window, though the Gunners ended up failing to sign a new forward despite Mikel Arteta repeatedly calling for more quality and depth up front.
