Arsenal were tipped to sign a new striker throughout the 2024 summer transfer window and having decided against bringing in a new frontman, Gunners journalist Charles Watts would love to see Premier League star Alexander Isak at the Emirates Stadium in 2025.

Mikel Arteta has been keeping an eye on the market for a number nine as the Spaniard is short on proper strikers in his squad.

Kai Havertz has stepped up throughout the opening part of the current season to provide Arsenal with goals and assists but the German lacks the killer instinct of a lethal goalscorer.

Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres was heavily linked to Arsenal throughout the summer as the Swedish star was coming off the back of a very impressive season in Portugal – scoring 43 goals across 50 games.

Despite this, Charles Watts would love to see another number nine at Arsenal next season with the Gunners journalist describing Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as the “perfect” player for Mikel Arteta’s team.

Writing in his latest exclusive column for CaughtOffside’s The Daily Briefing, Charles Watts has admitted that Isak would be the “perfect” fit for Arteta at Arsenal and that the Newcastle striker would be top of his list if the North London club were to make a move for a new number nine next summer.

“I’ve always said that Alexander Isak is perfect for Arsenal. He would be at the top of my list of new forwards if he were to become available,” Watts said.
