Arsenal has been advised to make a determined effort to acquire Newcastle striker Alexander Isak during the January transfer window. The 24-year-old is considered a potential candidate to be made available by Newcastle due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) concerns.
Newcastle is currently grappling with their most challenging period in complying with FFP guidelines, with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules possibly necessitating the sale of key players to maintain financial stability.
Rio Ferdinand, impressed by Isak’s recent performance against Manchester City, has urged Arsenal to address their center-forward issues by pursuing the Swedish striker. Ferdinand emphasized Arsenal’s financial constraints and the need for Isak to further develop before potentially joining a team like Real Madrid.
Football.london’s Josh Holland highlighted Isak’s impressive attributes, noting his tall and athletic build, electrifying pace, and clinical finishing, making him a valuable asset. Despite Arsenal’s previous interest in Isak when he was at Real Sociedad, Newcastle’s acquisition and his subsequent Premier League experience make him a potentially ideal solution for the Gunners at 24 years old.
Given Newcastle’s current 10th position in the league and their unlikely return to Champions League football next season, the suggested deal appears to align well with Arsenal’s needs.
