Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta saw his side slip up again in the title race and the pressure is growing on the club hierarchy to sign a new attacking player in the transfer window

COMMENT: Arsenal may not have the funds to sign Alexander Isak, but Mikel Arteta could be tempted by another striker similar to the Newcastle star.

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has made it clear he’d love to see his old club beat Arsenal to the signing of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.

Alexander Isak has been in spectacular form for Newcastle this season to once again reignite rumours of a potential transfer to Arsenal, who have a clearing picture of the terms of his exit

Arsenal could finally be able to confirm their first January addition but it may not be exactly what Mikel Arteta wants. Injuries have impacted the Gunners boss significantly in recent weeks with only four senior attackers available and a fresh defensive blow emerging before Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa.

Isak was linked with a move to Arsenal last summer with Newcastle scrambling to pass the Premier League's PSR rules, but would manage to keep hold of their talismanic frontman. He's shown once again this season why he's among the world's best strikers, with 15 goals in all competitions and 13 of those coming in the Premier League.
