Merson Urges Arsenal to Secure Alexander Isak: A Premier League Title Beckons

Paul Merson has made a bold prediction, claiming that Arsenal could win the Premier League by a commanding 10-point margin if they secure the services of Alexander Isak this summer. The former Arsenal midfielder believes that the Gunners could dominate the title race next season if they manage to sign the Newcastle United striker, who has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League.

Since his move from La Liga’s Real Sociedad in 2022, Isak has quickly become one of the league’s most lethal strikers, notching up an impressive 26 goals and six assists in just 39 appearances. His meteoric rise in English football has piqued the interest of several top clubs, including Liverpool. However, it’s Arsenal that Merson sees as the ideal destination for the Swedish international.

Arsenal’s pursuit of a top-tier striker has been a key point of discussion, with many fans and pundits believing that the team’s title aspirations could be severely boosted with the right addition in the forward line. Despite an otherwise strong squad under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners have struggled with a lack of a clinical centre-forward, a flaw that Isak could help fix.

Merson, speaking to Sportskeeda, emphasized that if Arsenal were to secure Isak’s signature, it could be the turning point in their long-awaited title challenge. He said, “Arsenal seem like the best possible move for him if he leaves Newcastle. If the Gunners get him, they will win the league by 10 points!”

However, the move will not be easy. Isak’s contract with Newcastle runs until 2027, and with wages around £120,000 per week, the Magpies are under no immediate pressure to sell. Still, with Isak yet to commit to a contract extension, Arsenal may have a window of opportunity.

Should Isak make the move to the Emirates, it would likely involve a record-breaking transfer fee. With Newcastle possibly securing Champions League football next season, the decision may come down to whether Isak values a potential title challenge with Arsenal over competing in Europe with the Magpies.

If Arsenal can pull off this high-profile transfer, it could be the missing piece they need to clinch the Premier League title, finally ending their long wait for domestic glory.
