Paul Scholes has claimed Alexander Isak is “bigger and better” than Arsenal and named three clubs the Newcastle striker should join.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Since joining Newcastle, Isak has formed into quite possibly of the most strong striker in English football. His great exhibitions this season, which have seen him score 17 Head Association objectives, have made him a sought-after player in the exchange market.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Stockpile, specifically, have been checking the 24-year-old for quite a while as they look to support their going after choices. The Heavy weapons specialists investigated the chance of marking a striker in January, however Newcastle’s £100 million ($127m) valuation of Isak made an arrangement monetarily impractical.
WHAT ISAK SAID
Speaking on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, Scholes downplayed Arsenal’s chances of landing Isak, arguing that the striker should set his sights on a club with bigger ambitions.
“Everyone loves him but I don’t see a possibility of him going to Arsenal,” the Manchester United legend said. “He needs to go bigger and better. We’re talking about Real Madrid here, Liverpool need a centre forward. I think Arsenal would be an option but I think they would be down the list of options.
I don’t mean that in a bad way but he’s at Newcastle, a really good team, a brilliant team, but they’re not going to win league titles, that’s the next stage of his career. I think it would be a risk to go to Arsenal and do the same thing.
Liverpool have got a much better chance, Man City and Real Madrid the same. I think his sights should be higher than Arsenal. He is a player Man United would be looking at but in the position we’re in now… it’s not going to happen.”
