“He will be a perfect fit for Arsenal , he reminds me of Thierry Henry whenever he’s on the pitch, I love him so much”- Premier League icon Alan Shearer says Arsenal should sign £63M star striker who is strong, physical and clinical as he’s better than the likes of Toney and Solanke

Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, a player that cost £63 million, is making waves in the football world. Recently, there have been talks about Arsenal wanting to sign him, and according to Alan Shearer, Newcastle’s coaching staff is drawing comparisons between Isak and the legendary Thierry Henry.

Isak, the Swedish striker, joined Newcastle from Real Sociedad 18 months ago and quickly became a fan favorite at St James’ Park. Alan Shearer, a respected figure in Newcastle, expressed his admiration for Isak in an interview. Shearer not only appreciates Isak’s team and position but also his impressive record of 23 goals in 36 starts across all competitions.

Shearer emphasized his love for Isak, highlighting the striker’s style of play. While Isak was initially compared to another Swedish legend, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Shearer revealed that within Newcastle’s coaching staff, the comparison is now being made to Thierry Henry, the iconic Arsenal striker.

In his piece for The Athletic, Shearer shared, “You can see it in that blistering pace, the languid grace, that gorgeous, fluid movement.” This comparison suggests that Isak possesses qualities reminiscent of Henry’s playing style, making him an exciting prospect.

The rumor mill has linked Arsenal to Isak, especially given their recent struggles in front of goal. Football Transfers reported that Arsenal, still keen on Isak since before he joined Newcastle, could benefit from his goal-scoring prowess. With Arsenal’s current difficulties in finding the back of the net, Isak could be a valuable addition to their squad.

Newcastle’s chief executive, Darren Eales, hinted at the possibility of selling one of their key players to finance moves for important targets. If Newcastle decides to part ways with Isak, the question arises: How much will they demand for the talented striker? This remains to be seen, adding an element of intrigue to the ongoing transfer speculations surrounding Alexander Isak.
