Arsenal are targeting a new striker and winger this summer with Alexander Isak and Michael Olise emerging as top targets, according to a report from guardian.
The Gunners are in danger of seeing another promising campaign fail. They crashed out of the Champions League against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night and have fallen behind in the title race after losing at home to Aston Villa Last weekend.
Many feel that Arsenal lack the necessary attacking depth to compete at the highest level and Mikel Arteta He is expected to rectify that problem in the summer. transfer market.
Widespread reports suggest Arsenal want to sign a top striker at the end of the season and The Guardian claim Isak is becoming a top target.
The 24-year-old forward has established himself as a key piece for Newcastle since joining the club and has been a reliable player in the English top flight. The Swedish international has 21 goals in all competitions this season and is undoubtedly one of the best attackers in the game. first division right now.
The Newcastle star is entering the peak years of his career and will want to join the club capable of winning major trophies. Arsenal have been fighting for the league title since last season and someone like Isak could help them take that last step and win trophies now.
Isak would be an improvement over Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal currently have Gabriel Jesus as a starting striker, but the Brazilian international has only scored four goals in the league. He is clearly not good enough to lead the line for a club hoping to win the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League. Although he remains an efficient player with other qualities, he is not a reliable goal scorer.
Isak should prove to be an upgrade on the Arsenal striker and it will be interesting to see if the Gunners can agree a deal. The Guardian report claims it could cost around £100 million, making it a big investment for north Londoners.
Arsenal could also use another winger to support players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. The Guardian claims Olise is firmly on his radar after impressing for Crystal Palace in recent years.
The Frenchman is one of the best young wingers out there and would be an excellent addition to the Arsenal squad. However, the report says his release clause is set at around £65m, so Arsenal would need to spend around £165m if they want to sign both Isak and Olise this summer.
