If the Premier League season has not yet delivered its verdict, it still appears that Manchester City is getting closer to a new championship title. One point behind Arsenal, but with one more match to play and a schedule that seems more “affordable” than that of the GunnersTHE Skyblues once again have the opportunity to cause a sensation.
A potential coronation snatched at the end of a disputed season and which only Mikel Arteta’s men seem capable of preventing. The latter who had an almost perfect campaign, but who risk, like last season, missing out on a long-awaited title. Among the points that may have been lacking for the Londoners this season, the absence of a world-class number 9 may have been costly.
Gabriel Jesus out, Alexander Isak in?
Gabriel Jesus (16 matches), Eddie Nketiah (23 matches) and Kai Havertz (10 matches) each alternated as center forward, but none was able to establish themselves over time. Concerning the first, his repeated injuries have forced him to miss no less than 13 matches and to be today relegated to the status of luxury joker. A situation which, according to The Athleticwould force him to consider leaving – to which his club would not be completely closed.
Also, while Arsenal was already looking to recruit a striker last winter, the search for the latter has intensified in recent weeks. And according to the information from theIndependent, the name of Alexander Isak (24 years old) would be Mikel Arteta’s top priority. Scorer 23 times in 36 appearances – in all competitions – this season, the Swedish international (44 caps, 10 goals) will not be easy to dislodge. Its management, which wishes to assert itself among the major Premier League clubs, will not let this happen, despite the threat of sanction from the PSR – the financial fair play of the championship.
