Arsenal have one main job in the summer transfer window – sign a new striker.
Indeed, Arsenal have needed a new striker for what feels like an eternity at this point.
Arsenal looked at Ivan Toney two years ago, but passed on a deal, while Arsenal made a bid for Ollie Watkins in January.
Arsenal are going to sign a striker this summer, and Alexander Isak is the Gunners’ dream target.
Isak has been valued at £120m, and some believe Arsenal won’t be able to land the striker.
However, speaking to The Mirror, Sol Campbell has claimed that Arsenal do have a chance of signing Isak this summer, but he notes he may need some convincing about this move.

Sol Campbell says Arsenal have a chance at signing Alexander Isak
Campbell was asked about Arsenal potentially signing Isak.
The pundit says he can see Isak joining Arsenal, but it will come down to more than just money in order to get this deal done.
“There has been a lot of talk about strikers in summer. A big name that has been mentioned is Alexander Isak from Newcastle, do you think Arsenal have a realistic chance of signing him?” Campbell was asked.
“Yes, they have got a chance. First of all they need to get the right money to get Newcastle to start listening, then it will come down to the player,” Campbell said.
“Does he feel like Arsenal is the right club for him? Because I’m sure he’ll have two or three top clubs looking at him and it’ll come down to Isak and what does he feel. Does he feel this is the right club for him? In the end, money goes away, it comes down to where does he think is the best place to be extremely successful.”
Alexander Isak stats vs Arsenal this season
Arsenal are desperate to sign Isak this summer, and it’s not hard to figure out why.
The Newcastle striker has been red hot all season long, and he’s saved his best performances for Arsenal.
Indeed, Isak has been the Gunners’ tormentor in chief this season, making an impact in all three games he’s played against the north London club.

Arsenal know first hand what a gamechanger Isak can be, and that’s why they’re so keen to sign him.
Campbell reckons a deal is possible, but whether or not that stands to be true in reality remains to be seen.
Isak is the perfect signing for Arsenal, but Newcastle certainly won’t want to lose their star striker.
