Arsene Wenger quickly mentioned Newcastle -star Alexander Isak as the player he would like to see this summer, according to Gunners icon David Seaman
The legendary ex-Arsenale manager Arsene Wener quickly closed from Newcastle Frontman Alexander Isak as a star who should sign this window. Arsenal again concluded an impressive but trophic season under the steward of Mikel Arteta and finished second in the Premier League behind the dynamic Liverpool of Arne Slot, while he has no silverware in all cup tournaments in it.
Now, with a crucial summer giving, their gaze is shifting to strengthening their attacking options. For the first time since 1924, no Arsenal player hit the milestone of 10 goals in the competition, with Kai Havertz just shy on nine.
That is why the hunt for reliable No. 9 has become an urgent care for Arteta and new sports director Andrea Berta in the coming transfer window.
Although there has been a chat about potential movements for snipers such as Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, Wenger indicated the Talisman of Newcastle during a conversation with the celebrated goalkeeper David Seaman of the club.
On his sailor, Podcast says, brought by Betway, the ex-Arsenale man sheds light on a recent exchange with Wenger during a charity dinner, where he investigated the Frenchman for insight into who should be the target on the transfer market.
“I had a dinner about three weeks ago with Arsene Wenger, a charity dinner, and I asked him that question. I said,” You're the boss, who would you sign this summer? “
Ian Wright broke in when Wenger's sentiment was revealed and added: “Exactly. It is not disrespectful for them (Newcastle), but he is brilliant.”
However, the bows of 25-year-old Swede is far from simple. In May Newcastle -Baas Eddie Howe put down the law and claimed that Isak is not for sale.
“He is not for sale from my perspective,” said Howe. “I want to build a team, I want the strongest team that is possible for the next season. There is a lot to look forward to, hopefully. The end of the season is crucial for us.
“I think we have a strong team and, when we can add players for the first time, that will make a huge, huge difference for us.
“That is what I concentrate on, not the other way around. We want to keep our best players. I think I made that very clear. That is not just the wish of me, that is the wish of everyone in the club.”
Although the intention of how to hold on to the important players was clear, he refused to give a cast -iron guarantee when he interviewed a few weeks later or Isak – reportedly appreciated at more than £ 150 million – will remain in Newcastle after the window is closed: “I will never make the guarantees about a player.
“It doesn't have to do with the future of Alex, I would be foolish to sit here and do something like that. We want to keep our strongest players. I have been in this chair as long as I have been in this chair.”
