Harry Redknapp has likened Arsenal target Alexander Isak to club legend Thierry Henry following his ‘world class’ performance against Tottenham.
The Newcastle United striker has emerged as one of Arsenal’s top transfer targets for the summer, with reports claiming they will offer £100million for his services.
It is no wonder given that Isak has scored 21 goals so far this season across all competitions, with 17 in 24 Premier League appearances.
These efforts have fired the Magpies to sixth in the table and put him firmly in the race for the Golden Boot as only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (20) and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins (19) have scored more.
The Sweden international found the back of the net twice last Saturday as Newcastle thrashed Tottenham 4-0, with his performance earning him top billing in Redknapp’s Team of the Week.
‘My star man has to be Alexander Isak, he was just world class against Spurs,’ the former Tottenham manager told BetVictor.
‘Some of his touches were brilliant and he was a nightmare for that Spurs defence. I like Micky van de Ven but Isak gave him the runaround at the weekend, he could have scored more than the two he got.
Sit back and enjoy ð¿
