Premier League campaign feels very much like a make-or-break campaign for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, but not in the way you may think. The Gunners boss has shown he's undoubtedly the man to lead the club forward,

The likes of Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen were linked with moves to north London but ended up heading to Saudi Arabia and Turkey respectively, while the only forward addition for Arsenal was the deadline day loan signing of Raheem Sterling from Chelsea.

Arsenal can't have their cake and eat it. If they want Isak then they will, at some point, have to pay the big boy money to get it done. Newcastle are right to be firm with him, and Arsenal, who spent much of the summer bumping up the prices for Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah, and Emile Smith Rowe, can hardly complain at this tactic.

Alexander Isak showed his classy side with a selfless gesture towards a fellow Arsenal target while on international duty. The Newcastle forward scored two goals in the space of six minutes to help Sweden secure a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan on Friday.
