Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Newcastle striker Alexander Isak would prefer to join Liverpool to Arsenal.
Recall that the Gunners have made Alexander Isak their top target for the summer transfer window, but given Liverpool’s current position in the table, Wright believes he would choose a move to the Reds over North London if given the choice at the end of the current season.
Speaking on The Overlap, Wright is concerned that if the Reds, who are likely to win the Premier League, would have more chance of luring Isak away if the chance came this summer.

“With what Alexander Isak has done and who he is, I would buy him for £120M, no danger. If we could get him, you need to chase that. I would be devastated if Arsenal weren’t in for him.
“I’d hate to see the scenario where it’s Liverpool or Arsenal. He would probably go to Liverpool. I’d like to think Mikel Arteta could convince him but look at Liverpool and Arne Slot. Slot hasn’t even got his own players in yet.
“That seems like a move attractive proposition but again, Arsenal will need to do the work. I would hate it if it was between Arsenal and Liverpool because he would probably go for Liverpool with the way it’s gone for Arne Slot.”
Isak has been one of the star strikers in the Premier League this season, returning 19 goals from 24 games in the English top flight, only Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland have scored more than the 25-year-old, who has recorded 21 goals in all competitions
