EPL: Merson names ‘only club in the world’ Isak will join from Newcastle

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has said Newcastle United striker, Alexander Isak, can only join one club in the world.

According to Merson, Isak will not join either Manchester City or Manchester United.

The 25-year-old has a contract with the Magpies until the summer of 2028.

However, the Swedish striker is attracting attention from top clubs in England and abroad.

Merson said on Sky Sports: “The lad is a special player. On the way in I was thinking where can he go? Where is he going to go?

“He’s not going to Man City, he’s not going to Man Utd, I don’t know if they’ve got any money to buy anybody anyway.

“You’re not going to Tottenham or Villa. He can only go to Arsenal really unless it’s Real Madrid and they’ve got Mbappe anyway.

“For me, it’s only Arsenal where he can go and then it’s up to him. Does he want to go to Arsenal where I might win something or stay at Newcastle and might win something. It’ll be an interesting one but it depends on the fair play rules.”
