Former Premier League winner Dwight Yorke believes Arsenal should splash £100m to rectify missing out on Isak previously, if they hope to avoid dropping points, as they did to Everton and Fulham in succession. The ex-Manchester United star is aghast they did not land the striker at the first attempt.

"Everyone keeps banging on about missing a number nine, and I do think there’s something to it," Yorke told . "You watch their games, the last two, they’ve been so dominant and haven’t been able to win the games.

"Let’s have it right, they’ve dropped four vital points in their two last Premier League fixtures against and [before Crystal Palace]. They’re missing something.

"I can’t understand why Arsenal hesitated when they had the opportunity to sign Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad. They sat on their hands, and Newcastle swooped in and took him. That was ridiculous.

"If Arsenal want to win the Premier League title, they should go to Newcastle and bang £100million on the table for Isak as soon as the January transfer window opens.
