Dwight Yorke has told Arsenal to “bang £100million on the table” for Alexander Isak “as soon as the January window opens” to enhance their title chances.
The Gunners’ top scorer in the Premier League this season has five goals. Both Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka have reached that figure, with no standout attacker in the side.
Though the third-placed side are still up there in terms of goals, four Premier League rivals have outscored them, and that could be the difference between winning the title and not.
As such, Yorke feels Arsenal need to offer a huge sum to Newcastle to land Isak and enhance their title chances.
“Everyone keeps banging on about Arsenal missing a number nine, and I do think there’s something to it. You watch their games, the last two, they’ve been so dominant and haven’t been able to win the games,” he told sportlens.com.
“Let’s have it right, they’ve dropped four vital points in their two last Premier League fixtures against Everton and Fulham.
“They’re missing something. I can’t understand why Arsenal hesitated when they had the opportunity to sign Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad. They sat on their hands, and Newcastle swooped in and took him. That was ridiculous.
“If Arsenal want to win the Premier League title, they should go to Newcastle and bang £100million on the table for Isak as soon as the January transfer window opens.
“I think the kid looks really good whenever I see him play. He does all the right things properly. He’s a threat. He would score so many goals playing for Arsenal.”
