Ian Wright tells Arsenal to sign Isak from Newcastle
Speaking on Premier League Productions, Wright emphasized Arsenal’s need for a clinical forward who can capitalize on half chances, citing their narrow 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa as an example. He said (via HITC):
)
“I think they need a player who fits into a technically organized side, someone who can stretch defences.
"There’s been a lot of talk about Isak at Newcastle. You look at Isak and think ‘yes’.“You can see someone like him at Arsenal."

Isak, 24, scored 25 goals in 40 appearances for Newcastle across all competitions last season.
