Isak deserves 'bigger and better' than Arsenal... like Liverpool or Man City

Paul Scholes says Alexander Isak deserves "bigger and better" than Arsenal.

The Gunners have long been linked with the Newcastle striker, who has at times been touted as Mikel Arteta's 'dream' signing.

Isak is expected to leave Newcastle in the future, and could command a fee in excess of the £105million Arsenal paid for Declan Rice.

But Scholes believes the Sweden star is destined for greater things.

"Everyone loves him but I don’t see a possibility of him going to Arsenal," Scholes said on The Overlap. "He needs to go bigger and better.

"We’re talking about Real Madrid here, Liverpool need a centre forward. I think Arsenal would be an option but I think they would be down the list of options.”

Why Harry Kane to Arsenal move 'makes sense'

Harry Kane "suits Arsenal down to the ground", says Joe Cole, as the Tottenham legend is tipped to make a stunning move to the north London rivals.

“I can see the logic with Harry Kane joining Arsenal – stranger things have happened,” former Chelsea man Cole told Paddy Power.

“He’s gone to Germany, and he’s carried on where he left off. The man just oozes goals. For Arsenal, as a footballer, he would be the perfect last piece in the jigsaw – he suits them down to the ground.

“I can’t see it, however, there’s such a wrench between the two clubs. I think it would be too much for Harry. Sol Campbell joining Arsenal from Spurs was a bit different to this, but from a football perspective, it makes a lot of sense, because he is perfect for their style of football."

Manchester United and Tottenham join Matheus Cunha race

Manchester United and Tottenham are both keeping tabs on Matheus Cunha after the Wolves star inserted a release clause into his new contract.

The Brazilian has signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal with Wolves but reportedly remains open to leaving the club in the summer.

Cunha is said to be available for around £62million thanks to a release clause he insisted upon alongside his improved terms, which has prompted interest from both United and Spurs according to AS.

Arsenal remain longer-term admirers.
