Arsenal legend Paul Merson tells Mikel Arteta which striker he must sign this summer to take Gunners to 'another level'

After another gruelling Premier League title battle against Manchester City, Arsenal look likely to fall short yet again, despite having impressed the footballing world with their performances this season. Merson believes that Mikel Arteta's side will reach 'another level' if they sign Isak this summer from the Magpies.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Writing for SportsKeeda, Merson said: “They (Newcastle) are a massive team, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of their stars moved on to win trophies. If Arsenal sign a striker like Isak, I think they go to another level."

WHAT MERSON SAID

Arsenal have indeed been reported to be looking for a striker in the market going into the summer transfer window. They have been linked heavily with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/arsenal-lead-benjamin-sesko-chase-rb-leipzig-hitman-amid-chelsea-man-utd-transfer-links/blt86d737ae4c9aa0b8" target="_blank">Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko</a> and have also inquired into the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/arsenal-chelsea-learn-new-viktor-gyokeres-asking-price-sporting-cp-striker-new-contract/blt3ba5c7f7a37f1480" target="_blank">situation of Viktor Gyokeres at Sporting</a>. If the Gunners want to target Isak this summer, they may have to part with a sum close to £100 million ($127m).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Arsenal will now host Everton but will have one eye trained on the proceedings at the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City take on West Ham. Arsenal must take three points in their clash and hope David Moyes' side can take points off City if they are to finish top of the pile.
