There are all answers, but why don’t Arsenal pay?

According to the well-known football reporter Longo, after a depressed four-season season, Arsenal will make a big purchase in the summer window, AC Milan winger Leo and Newcastle center Isak have become their targets, and both players are worth more than 100 million euros.

Strong dialogue, the test was achieved

In the Champions League semi-finals against Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal completed a total of 29 shots (Paris only 22 times), creating 7 excellent opportunities (Paris only 4 times), and expected goals to reach 4.79 (Paris only 2.88), but in the end, he only scored 1 goal, which shows the low scoring efficiency of the frontcourt.

With the injury of Havertz and Jesus, Arteta pushed Merino to the front line. The "center" who has scored 6 goals in the league has not been dealt with in a lot of details after coming to the high-end UEFA Champions League. When Saka was surrounded by heavy troops from his opponents, Martinelli on the left wing failed to share the pressure, and his performance of missing opportunities many times was crazy. With nearly 500 million pounds spent to build the midfield and backcourt, the winger and center have become Arsenal's transfer priority.

Leo, the underrated Serie A top star, was interviewed not long ago, and legendary Casano said that only Reindez and Pulisic are the "top stars" in Milan, and Leo was excluded by him.

Leo's tactical status is not above the same level as other players.

Leo has made 48 appearances for AC Milan this season (37 starts), recording 12 goals and 11 assists. If he had not attracted firepower from the strong side, the opponent would have strengthened his defense in the middle and the other side of the side, and Reindez and Pulisic would not have performed as they are today. As one of the few players in the Serie A arena, Leo is a key role in ensuring AC Milan's lower limit. As Arsenal's main attacker in the frontcourt, Saka has been under a lot of pressure in recent years, and Leo's playing style can undoubtedly greatly share his burden.

Isaac, the safest choice

There are countless teams who hope to use this summer window to introduce high-level centers. Arsenal's signing budget can reach up to 300 million euros, and he is fully capable of choosing between Isaac, Yorke and Sheshko. Considering that Yorke has had unpleasant experience in the Premier League and Sheshko lacks Premier League experience, Isaac is obviously the best solution for the Gunners to strengthen their center position.

The difficulty of tapping potential from the Premier League is conceivable, but to complete the leap from runner-up to the championship, Arsenal must use heavyweight signings to promote qualitative change, and Isaac is the best candidate to achieve this goal. In addition to improving the offensive efficiency of positional combat, Isaac can also exert its power in positioning offense. From multiple perspectives, it is a perfect No. 9 that perfectly adapts to the Arteta system.
