Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak’s red-hot run of form is a stark reminder to Arsenal of their own shortcomings up front after missing out on his signature as the two sides clash in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final.

Ever since his breakthrough as a teenager at Swedish side AIK, Isak’s name has been linked with a move to north London, but time after time the Gunners have missed out on a player that may shoot down their hopes of winning a trophy this season.
