Piers Morgan watched the London derby when Arsenal beat Tottenham 2-1 at home at Emirates Stadium in the early morning of January 16, but did not forget to watch the match at the same time between Newcastle and Wolverhampton with a score of 3-0, with Isak scoring twice and assisting once.
Alexander Isak shows top form to help Newcastle fly high
"Mikel Arteta, sign him now. The best striker in Europe right now. Buy him in January, please. Arsenal need a top striker like Isak to compete for the Premier League title. If it were me, I would take a box of cash and drive to Newcastle to sign Alexander Isak. £100 million, £120 million, £140 million, £150 million - I don't care," Piers Morgan said in an interview with talk SPORT.
Isak has scored in eight consecutive matches for Newcastle in all competitions. The 25-year-old Swedish striker has now scored 17 goals and provided five assists in 23 appearances for the St. James' Park outfit. In the Premier League alone, Isak has 15 goals and five assists, behind only Erling Haaland (Man City, 16 goals) and Salah (Liverpool, 18 goals) who are leading the scoring charts.
Isak's excellent form helped Newcastle have 9 consecutive wins on all fronts, including 6 consecutive wins in the Premier League to climb from outside the top 10 to the top 4 in the 21st round, officially surpassing Chelsea (38 points compared to 37 points).
Newcastle are currently just 3 points behind 3rd-placed Nottingham Forest and 5 points behind 2nd-placed Arsenal. While they are 9 points behind 1st-placed Liverpool.
Coach Mikel Arteta admitted: "We will definitely try our hand in the transfer market. We want to strengthen our attack. Arsenal have lost two very important players, Bukayo Saka will be out for three months and Gabriel Jesus will be out for a long time."
However, Arsenal's bid for Newcastle striker Isak for £150 million is extremely difficult. Newcastle want to keep Isak long-term as his current contract runs until June 2028, with an offer to sign a further 2 years until June 2030.
