Arsenal chiefs are keen to strengthen their options at centre-forward and have identified Real Sociedad frontman Alexander Isak as a target.

That’s according to The Athletic , which claims Isak, 21, has caught the eye of Gunners technical director Edu.

The Sweden international scored 17 goals in La Liga this season, including a spectacular flurry of nine goals in six games across January and February.

The report adds Isak is protected by £60.2million release clause, while the towering striker has three years remaining on his contract with Sociedad.
