“Paul Merson Drops SHOCKING Alexander Isak and Arsenal Claim That Will INFURIATE Newcastle Fans….
Alexander Isak’s goal just after half-time at the City Ground leveled the score following Murillo’s opener, sparking a second-half comeback that saw Newcastle United claim their third consecutive victory in all competitions. The Swedish striker has now scored four goals in his last four matches, aiming to put a slow start to the season behind him.
Isak has been linked with a potential move to Arsenal, and ahead of Sunday’s game at the City Ground, Paul Merson expressed his surprise that the Gunners didn’t make a move for him during the summer transfer window. “I’m a big fan of this lad,” Merson told Sky Sports. “I’m surprised Arsenal didn’t try to break the bank for him at the start of the season. I think he was the missing piece for Arsenal.”
Merson went on to highlight Isak’s all-around ability, saying, “He can do everything—he can drop deep, get into the box, and spread the game. That’s exactly what Arsenal need. With players like Odegaard and Saka on the ball, you need someone who can stretch the play. Right now, Arsenal are a bit congested and lack a player who will make those runs behind the defense.”
He also praised Isak’s performance in the previous week’s match against Arsenal, stating, “His header was outstanding. The way he got between the two center-halves was brilliant.”
Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea means Newcastle United now sit just one point behind them in the Premier League standings.
