‘ASAP’: Gabriel Agbonlahor says Arsenal need to sign ‘outstanding’ player straight away in January

Arsenal have now scored eight goals in their last two games, but the talk is still around the idea that the Gunners need a new striker.

Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus were both on the scoresheet against Crystal Palace at the weekend, but, unfortunately, both men were upstaged by one of Arsenal’s most high-profile transfer targets.

Indeed, Arsenal are keen on Alexander Isak, and the Newcastle striker made headlines this weekend with a hat-trick against Ipswich Town.

Speaking to TalkSPORT, Gabriel Agbonlahor has been discussing Isak’s performance, and he’s urged Arsenal to make a move for the striker as soon as they possibly can.

Gabriel Agbonlahor urges Arsenal to sign Alexander Isak

Agbonlahor says that Arsenal should be in for Isak in January.

The pundit labelled the striker an outstanding player, and he says that he could be just what the doctor ordered at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta is a fan of Isak, and perhaps this move could be possible in the winter window.

“The next player is Isak. Some big teams will want Isak, I’ll say that now. Listen, we love Haaland, but Isak is levels above Haaland at the moment. What he does that Haaland doesn’t, he can create his own goals, he can receive the ball and run at players,” Agbonlahor said.

“Isak does that, he runs at pace, he has skill, technique and finish, he got his first hat-trick in the Premier League, which was a shock to me because he’s such an outstanding player, but he’s someone Arsenal need to get their hands on ASAP.”

Alexander Isak compared to Arsenal attackers

Agbonlahor says that Arsenal need to go out and get Isak, and it’s not hard to see why his argument is valid.

Indeed, Isak is a top player who has been outperforming all of Arsenal’s attackers so far this season.

No Arsenal player can stand up to Isak in terms of goals, but Bukayo Saka’s assist numbers are incredible.

Just imagine if Saka had a player like Isak alongside him, his assist numbers would be through the roof.

Isak may be available in January, and if that opportunity does present itself to Arsenal, the Gunners need to pounce.

Arsenal aren’t planning many major signings in January, but the chance to sign a player like Isak is surely an opportunity you can’t afford to miss.

Arsenal have a mountain to climb in the title race, but signing Isak in January would surely give them a much-needed boost.
