Rio Ferdinand has urged Arsenal to go ‘all out’ in the January transfer window and sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
The Magpies could be forced into selling one of their star players after the club confirmed losses of £150m in their latest financial reports.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are desperate to land a new striker and have been linked to Isak with a move for their top target Ivan Toney thought to be unlikely.
Isak has impressed this season with the Sweden international registering 10 Premier League goals across 16 appearances.
‘Alexander Isak was running in behind constantly [against Manchester City], if I’m Arsenal, I’m going all out and buying him,’ Ferdinand said on his FIVE podcast.
The former Manchester United defender was challenged by that remark due to how much Isak would cost but he added: ‘Why? They can’t spend… they’re struggling with [profit and sustainability rules].
‘I think there’s another jump up before [he goes to a club like Real Madrid]. I saw somewhere they have to sell before they can buy again.’

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was asked about Arsenal’s interest in Isak on Saturday and admitted that the 24-year-old has ‘so much more to offer’.
‘He can go on to achieve incredible things in his career,’ Howe said about Isak. ‘He’s still getting back to 100 per cent fit, he is not totally there yet after his injury troubles this season.
‘But the last two performances and the goals he has scored offers a glimpse into his capabilities.’

‘Give him the keys, because when you look at the way he plays, his calmness, his maturity for his age, the positions he picks up, he’s somebody now.’
The England striker has been heavily linked with a move away from Brentford.
‘I’d love it if Luke and I became a new Taylor v Raymond van Barneveld.’

What a game!
‘Too much intense snooker for me is not good.’

Rasmus Hojlund is well aware of his critics during his Manchester United career so far, but said he has always believed in himself after his latest goal for the club.
The 20-year-old opened the scoring in the Red Devils’ 2-2 draw with Tottenham, which saw the home side twice take the lead at Old Trafford.
That was his seventh goal for the club in all competitions, with five of those coming in the Champions League, but with just two in 16 Premier League outings, it has been a slow start in England.
The Denmark international has not been oblivious to some criticism coming his way for a lack of goals in domestic football, but says he has not been concerned at all.
‘There’s been a lot of focus about me not scoring in the Premier League but I’ve always believed in myself,’ he said after the draw with Spurs.
‘It’s taken time but it’s not like I’ve not been scoring goals. My team-mates help me everyday.
‘You can always take the confidence with you from the earlier games. It’s instinct.’

Despite the home team twice leading, Spurs may feel the more frustrated that they didn’t leave with three points after an impressive display.
However, Hojlund says there is disappointment in the Manchester United camp, despite admitting that they lacked focus.
‘A little bit disappointed,’ the forward said of the result. ‘I think we played a very good game, especially offensively.
‘I think we’re starting to click. Everyone is feeling confident but then we concede two not so good goals. We should be a little more focussed. We should be better and they had another chance afterwards too and we spoke about it.’
