EPL: ‘He’s not going to Arsenal’ – Lescott names club Isak would join this summer

Published on April 03, 2025 at 05:41 AM

Former Everton and Manchester City defender, Joleon Lescott has said that red-hot Newcastle United striker, Alexander Isak will prefer to join Liverpool over Arsenal this summer.

Isak, who plays his international football with Sweden, has been heavily linked to both clubs this season.

Isak has been one of the top performers in the Premier League this season following his arrival at Newcastle for a reported €70 million from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022.

He has scored 24 goals and made five assists in 33 outings for Newcastle United across competitions this season.

He helped the club win the Carabao Cup last month and is third in the list of highest scorers in the league with 20 goals.

He is surpassed only by Mohamed Salah (27 goals) and Erling Haaland (21 goals).

Lescott told The Dressing Room Podcast that Isak will choose Liverpool over Arsenal this summer.

He said, “I’ve heard that Arsenal have a massive kitty to spend this summer. That doesn’t matter. He’s not going to Arsenal. Arsenal would be surprising.

“I think Liverpool come in. If I was Liverpool I would try and sign him. Salah isn’t going to score 30 goals every season. They need someone to share that load, they need someone to get 15 or 20.”

Several players will leave Anfield this season, including Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz.

It will, therefore, be a priority for them to sign a striker this summer, with Isak being one of the key targets.

According to GiveMeSport journalist Graeme Bailey, Arsenal will focus on securing the services of Viktor Gyokeres if Alexander Isak joins Liverpool.

If Isak does not join the Gunners, they will focus on signing Sporting CP forward, Viktor Gyokeres as alternative.
