Arsenal legend, Ian Wright believes his former club needs to sign striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United to secure the Premier League title, following their narrow two-point miss against Manchester City this season.
The Gunners put up a strong challenge, pushing the title race to the final day, but ultimately fell short despite having the league’s best defensive record and the second-highest goal tally.
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 defenses. 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, the way he links up and fits into Mikel Arteta’s system. We need a player who can take those half-chances.”
