Arsenal are looking to bring in a £100 million superstar compared to Thierry Henry. Despite being the league's leaders in terms of goals scored this season, the Gunners have struggled
up front. Kai Havertz has emerged as the first-choice striker up front for Mikel Arteta, with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah suffering with injury and bad form between them. With Jesus
playing wide against Manchester City at the weekend, Arteta gave his clearest indication yet that he would rather see a more physical threat centrally – and he could get his wish this
summer, in the form of a nine-figure signing. You may like _The Sun_ claims that Arsenal are to battle bitter foes Tottenham Hotspur for Swedish striker Alexander Isak amid worries at
Newcastle United of keeping the right side of the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Isak – who has frequently been compared with French legend Thierry Henry –
joined the Magpies for a club record fee in August 2022 and has been a palpable hit in the northeast – but it's believed that Newcastle could be open to a sale. Bruno Guimaraes, for
example, has a £100m release clause with the Toon believed to want to accept a similar fee for Isak. Arsenal held talks with Isak mere months before he signed for Newcastle, but with the
24-year-old costing almost double what the north Londoners spent on Gabriel Jesus, Arteta and Co. seemingly couldn't justify the outlay on a Real Sociedad forward unproven in English
football. While the rumours are likely to have some truth in them, however, Eddie Howe has reiterated his desire to keep Isak. In _FourFourTwo's_ view, Isak is likely to be one of
several options on Arsenal's radar – but the cost of having to potentially double Isak's reported £120,000-a-week wage, on top of a nine-figure transfer fee, may price him out of a
move. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. Isak is valued at €70m by _Transfermarkt_. MORE ARSENAL STORIES _ARSENAL HAVE A __10-MAN SHORTLIST
