Arsenal would give anything to have another Thierry Henry in their squad right now.

If there’s one thing the Gunners are lacking at the moment it’s a top-quality centre-forward, and a reincarnation of Henry would arguably make Arsenal the best team on the planet.

Luckily, Arsenal have been linked to a number of strikers as of late, and one forward they have been linked to has now been directly compared to Henry.

Striker Arsenal want to sign has been likened to Thierry Henry

Speaking on TalkSPORT, Jason Cundy has been discussing Alexander Isak after his goal against Everton.

The Swedish striker scored a gorgeous goal vs the Toffees, and after the game, Cundy compared him to Henry.

Interestingly, this comes not long after the Newcastle striker was linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.

“You have Isak right, this kid here, can you build a team around here because he’s electric? The goal he scored today reminds me of a young Thierry Henry. Cutting in from that left side and bending it towards the far corner? If they sell him where do they go from there? Sell him for £100m, what’s an extra £40m going to do?” Cundy said.

“You read that in the paper today, then you see him put that performance in. And then a Spurs or an Arsenal come in and dangle £100m, where do they go from there?”

Alexander Isak would be perfect for Arsenal

It will be difficult for Arsenal to sign Alexander Isak this summer, but we can’t think of a more ideal signing for the Gunners right now.

Isak is an incredible player who has so much to his game. He has an amazing blend of speed and strength and if Arsenal could sign him they would be almost unstoppable.

Of course, getting such a deal done from a Premier League rival won’t be easy, but the interest is there, so this could be one to watch.
