Liverpool lead the way for Isak

According to Sami Mokbel, the BBC's chief football correspondent, Liverpool are the only club with a chance to sign Isak, with Arsenal's hopes paling into insignificance.

This intel came from an update he recently gave on the Latter Firm - Arsenal FC YouTube channel.

He said: "I think the ideal scenario for Mikel Arteta is to get Alexander Isak. I think we kind of know that there’s probably less than 2% chance of that happening, if that, just because of the sheer numbers involved.

"If you’re going for Isak, next season might be the season where you get a chance, when he’s just got two years left on his contract."

As such, we can seemingly count the Gunners out of the race, leaving just the Reds in the hunt.
