Jamie Carragher has cast doubt over whether Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak would choose Arsenal this summer, despite growing speculation linking the Swedish forward with a move to the Emirates Stadium. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a prolific season, scoring 19 goals in all competitions, and is being talked up as a potential £150 million signing.

Carragher, however, believes that Liverpool could be a more attractive destination for Isak. Speaking on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, he questioned the assumption that Arsenal is the clear frontrunner for the striker’s signature. He pointed out that Liverpool, who could still win the Premier League this season, are also in need of a top center forward. He argued that, given a choice, Isak might prefer a move to the champions rather than a club still building towards title contention.
