Arsenal news: Alexander Isak drops transfer hint as Dusan Vlahovic told he got move ‘wrong’

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta may be about to switch his attentions to Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak after missing out on Dusan Vlahovic after he moved to Juventus

Alexander Isak may have dropped a big hint that he is ready to complete a move to Arsenal after being spotted in London and registering a car in the UK, it has been reported.

The Real Sociedad striker is said to be one of Gunners boss Mikel Arteta’s top transfer targets after the club missed out on Dusan Vlahovic, who has now sealed his switch to Juventus.

Despite sharing his delight after moving to the Italian giants on his birthday, Vlahovic has been told by Italy legend Antonio Cassano exactly why the move he opted for was “sensationally wrong”.

It comes as Arsene Wenger’s comments about Granit Xhaka have surfaced – and they prove the midfielder’s Arsenal career was doomed from the start.

Vlahovic, who has scored 17 goals in 21 games this season, made the switch from Fiorentina to Juve this week despite Arsenal pushing hard to land his signature.

But Cassano thinks the player is a poor fit in Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri’s preferred tactical set-up and Vlahovic “needed to make an intermediate step to a team like Arsenal”.
