Chris Sutton told 606 on BBC Radio 5 Live Sport that reported Arsenal target, Alexander Isak, will ‘most certainly’ end up in the Premier League.
The Athletic have reported that Arsenal are big admirers of the £60 million-rated player, who is in action with Sweden at Euro 2020.
The 21-year-old produced a strong performance for his country on Monday, as they recorded a goalless draw against Spain.
And Sutton liked what he saw from the ‘great prospect’ and he thinks it’s only a matter of time before he’ll become a Premier League player.
“Great prospect, isn’t he?” said Sutton. “Wasn’t he at Dortmund for a while? He’s at Real Sociedad now and has done great things.
“With his age, the way he’s developing I am sure that, most certainly, he will end up in the Premier League.”
Arsenal fans would, no doubt, love a player of Isak’s quality on their books because the towering forward does seem to have a lot in his locker.
Despite standing at 6ft 2, Isak has the technical ability his fellow countryman, Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be proud of, but he also has a composure to his game which has seen him score 17 times this season.
Those performances for Real Sociedad in La Liga saw the former Dortmund star named as the best youngster in Spain during the recently concluded campaign.
And that’s some feat for a player who beat the likes of Barcelona’s wonderkid, Pedri, to that award.
