Sol Campbell has named who he believes are the most entertaining players in world football today.
The Arsenal legend is a big admirer of technical, naturally talented players – after all, he named Paul Gascoigne as the greatest midfielder ever.
Speaking to Goal, Campbell has now named who he believes are the five most entertaining players in world football, and he made quite the claim about one Arsenal target.
Matheus Cunha has been linked to Arsenal, and Campbell believes he’s the fifth-most entertaining player in the world.
However, in at number one was none other than Alexander Isak as Campbell named the Newcastle ace as the most entertaining player in the world today.

Sol Campbell names Alexander Isak as the world’s most entertaining player
Campbell named who he believes are the five most entertaining players on the planet.
Campbell’s list was heavily weighted towards the Premier League as Matheus Cunha, Pedro Neto and Declan Rice made the cut.
Rice has earned huge praise recently after his goals against Atletico Madrid.
Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe was in second place in Campbell’s list, just behind Isak.
Isak is Arsenal’s top target this summer, and the £60m man is a joy to watch on his day, it must be said.
Alexander Isak compared to Kylian Mbappe
Campbell says that Isak is a more entertaining player than Mbappe, and there’s a case to be made that he’s simply a better player, full stop, these days.
Indeed, the stats show that Isak may well have an edge over Mbappe this season.
| Alexander Isak | Kylian Mbappe | |
| 28 | Games | 29 |
| 20 | Goals | 22 |
| 6 | Assists | 3 |
| 114 | Minutes per goal | 112 |
Mbappe has outscored Isak, granted, but the Newcastle ace has more assists while he’s playing in a less-dominant team in a more competitive league.
Mbappe is a world superstar who is doing it in the Champions League too, but, make no mistake about it, Isak is on that level.
In terms of entertainment value, Isak and Mbappe are, quite simply, two of the best in the world, but they’re also lethal in terms of output.
There may not be a better signing Arsenal could make than Isak this summer.
