Arsenal manager, Paul Merson, has advised the Gunners and Chelsea to ‘break the bank’ to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
Isak was being heavily linked with a move away from St James’ Park earlier in the year.
But Newcastle have made it clear they want to keep hold of the 24-year-old.
“Newcastle have done well to keep Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes, at the moment,” Merson told Sky Sports.
“If I was a Chelsea or an Arsenal, I’d be breaking the bank for Isak. If Chelsea got Isak, they’d be certainty for a top-four finish.
“If Arsenal got him, they’d win the league.”
