Arsenal told to ‘break the bank’ for £75m player who can ‘take them to another level’Arsenal urged to sign Newcastle’s Alexander Isak in January. Former Gunner Paul Merson believes Isak is the “best of the best” and would elevate Arsenal to a new level. Despite Gabriel Jesus’ improved form, Merson prefers Isak over Erling Haaland for Arsenal’s style of play. Isak is valued at around £75 million, and Newcastle will likely demand a high fee due to his contract length. Arsenal’s top league scorer, Kai Havertz, has seven goals, but the injury to Bukayo Saka has increased the need for attacking reinforcements.
