Samu Omorodion will return to Atletico Madrid after a successful loan period at Deportivo Alaves, with 9 goals and 1 assist. With his huge potential, this 20-year-old attacker is on the radar of many English clubs.

After West Ham, it was Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham who expressed their interest in Omorodion. Coach Ange Postecoglou is looking for a new striker in the summer and has reason to target the young Spanish talent. Besides, Spurs are also interested in Kevin Denkey from Cercle Brugge.

As for Arsenal, they have been linked with more prominent names, including Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak. However, Mikel Arteta could boldly bring in a younger striker to improve squad depth, in the context that Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson are likely to leave.

Omorodion has a huge release clause of 80-100 million euros , a figure that neither Tottenham nor Arsenal will pay. Therefore, if Atletico wants to sell, they may have to negotiate with these clubs to find a solution.

Journalist Simon Collings revealed that Arsenal is closely monitoring Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.

Alexander Isak built his reputation during his time playing football at Newcastle United. Journalist Simon Collings recently spoke about how the Gunners have been monitoring the 24-year-old and appear to have done “a lot of ground work”.

Meanwhile, GiveMeSport have reported that Arsenal now appear to be the most likely side to actually strike a deal with Isak.

Although the Gunners have opened fire quite a bit this season, none of their strikers have reached the 20-goal mark.

There have been links between Arsenal  and the likes of Ivan Toney and Viktor Gyokeres, but now reports suggest the Gunners could make a move for Isak.

This season, the Swedish striker played sublimely in the Magpies shirt , with 16 goals in 30 appearances in all competitions.

This is also a striker who admires Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. He once told the Times: “Henry is a player I admired as a child, so I can’t complain (about him being compared to Henry). I like it a lot. Now they know I’m in England.
