The £70million 'monster' has said yes to joining Arsenal

ArsenalOur team's problems over the last few weeks and whether they will finish the season intact have been laid bare Premier League Champions, need to sign a few players this month.

against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup, Mikel ArtetaThe men were left to rue some terrible touches from Kai Havertz, who lobbed a shot off his shoulder wide of goal from just a few yards out.

It was Havertz again in the FA Cup a week ago, firing the ball over the bar when it looked easier to score, while they were on the verge of rueing some poor finishing against Tottenham in the north London derby. At least they've been through that.

However, just when you thought they had found their mojo again, as they took a 2-0 lead against Aston Villa, they were robbed of the result after some uncharacteristically poor defending.

However, strengthening the attacking ranks should remain the first priority this month.

Arsenal is planning to sign a new striker

The man everyone wants now is him Alexander Isaac. The Newcastle striker is one of the most brilliant strikers on the planet. He scored 11 goals in his last ten matches in all competitions.

It was He is regularly linked with a move to Emirates Stadium But with toon Setting the asking price at £150 million For him, any move was incredibly unlikely.

Substitutions are required, therefore, and in Benjamin Sisco – A man described as “the new Erling Haaland” By scout Jacek Kulig They may have their man.

Cisco was the subject of interest from the Gunners over the summer but eventually signed a new contract with German club RB Leipzig. A move in 2025 seems most likely but will it happen in January or summer?

Well, according to the sun, Arsenal are now considering a massive £70m bid For the striker this month as Arteta aims to strengthen his squad.

The mirror also goes so far as to suggest He has already said yes to joining the Gunnerswith the player now preparing to move.

Why could Benjamin Sisko be Arsenal's Alexander Isak?

In January 2022, Arsenal were reportedly looking at a move for IsakWho was playing for Real Sociedad at the time.

With a release clause of £75m, the Gunners thought he was above his market value and instead, they ignored the move in favor of other options.

Just a few months later he moved to St James' Park In a deal worth approximately 63 million pounds sterling Since then, it's safe to say that Arteta and company will regret their decision not to leave.

While at that time Isaac was not very prolific, He scored 11 in 29 matches the previous season To move to England, he developed into one of the most feared strikers on the planet, He scored 17 times in 24 matches In 2024/25.

At the time of the move, the hot Swede was just 22 years old. He is now 25 years old. Coincidentally, Cisco will be 22 years old by the summer transfer window. He also performs better at the same age, suggesting that in a few years, he could live up to the rave reviews he's receiving.

Data analyst Ben Mattinson called it a “monster.”This is a player who, if you invest in him now, has a great chance of turning into something incredibly special.

He is at a stage in his career – as Isak was when Arsenal rejected him – where he is still learning his craft but displays traits that would tick a lot of boxes for Arteta.

The Slovenian is tall and strong and is one of the most formidable strikers in European football. Just look at the goal below.

So, how does Cisco compare to Isaac at the same age? We've compared the Newcastle star's 2021/22 season with the RB Leipzig striker's current season.

So, it's an interesting set of data as Sesko was confidently the more prolific player when they were at the same stage of their careers.

Isak appears to be the most creative and likely to outmaneuver any player with the most regularity, but the fact that the Slovenian international is already brutal in the air and possesses tremendous physical ability, makes it seem as if he could be tailor-made. Premier League.

Undoubtedly, he remains incredibly inactive but Arsenal must learn the lesson of not moving forward with the Newcastle star a few years ago. They were forced to pay the price at that time and should not give up on Cisco.
