Mikel Arteta drops huge Alexander Isak transfer hint ahead of Carabao Cup clash with Newcastle United

In an attempt to prevent Eddie Howe’s team from reaching their second final in as many years, Arsenal will host the first leg of the semi-final on Tuesday night. It will be crucial since Newcastle will have the home advantage in the second leg. Although Arsenal achieves a successful outcome at the Emirates, it will be difficult to deal with Isak. In his last six Premier League games, the Swedish striker has scored, including a hat-trick against Ipswich Town, a team fighting for relegation. Isak had previously been strongly linked to Arsenal, and according to Football Insider, Arteta will make him a “key target” in the summer.

Regarding Isak, what did Arteta say?

In his pregame remarks, Arteta honored Isak and discussed Arsenal’s strategy for handling the intelligent 25-year-old. When asked about Isak, Arteta told reporters, “Obviously, he is a top player in top form, scoring a lot of goals,” according to football.london. “Trying to minimise the strengths of the opposition is a big part of the plan when playing any opponent.” Arteta is obviously a huge fan of the former Real Sociedad player, but Isak’s price tag might be an issue given Arsenal’s need for a goal scorer. The Gunners may not be able to afford Newcastle’s £150 million asking price for the Sweden international, according to The Telegraph.

Concerns about injuries at Arsenal

Teenager Ethan Nwaneri has been ruled out of the match and is expected to miss several weeks, according to Arteta, who also confirmed some very grim injury news. “Unfortunately, he [Nwaneri] has picked up an injury and is going to be out for a few weeks,” Arteta stated before to adding: “Muscular injury.” According to Arteta, “Yeah, he didn’t really know,” “What is it that I am feeling?” He has earned the right to take the field, play for us, start some important games, and have the kind of impact he has. I’m sorry for him.
