Mikel Arteta’s team still has a chance to win the Premier League for the first time in 20 years when they are only 2 points behind Man City. In the final round of the season, the Gunners will host Everton at Emirates Stadium while Man City plays West Ham at the Etihad.
Arsenal need to beat The Toffees and hope The Hammers can win 3 points against Pep Guardiola’s team to have a chance to win the championship. Regardless of the result, The Gunners will likely actively participate in the transfer market this summer as Arteta aims to strengthen the squad to conquer titles on all fronts next season.
Former Arsenal striker Merson – who scored 99 goals in 417 matches in all competitions for the North London side between 1985 and 1997 – has spoken out about the players he believes his former club should pursue this summer.
Isak is in extremely impressive form this season
Names like Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon, who both played brilliantly for the Magpies, are mentioned as impressive stars under coach Eddie Howe. However, Merson believes that recruiting striker Alexander Isak will be in the best interest of his former team and take them to “a new level”.
Isak is in extremely impressive form this season , scoring 24 goals in just 39 matches in all competitions. Merson believes that a number of Newcastle’s stars will have to leave St James’ Park if they are to lift the title, which leads him to believe that a move for Isak to Arsenal would make sense.
Speaking to Sportskeeda, Merson said: “Newcastle need to make an effort to keep their players because other teams will be looking at Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes. They are a big team, but I won’t I’d be surprised if some of their stars move to win trophies. If Arsenal sign a striker like Isak, I think they will go to new heights.”
