Arsenal transfer news: Gunners in another Vlahovic situation over £75m star

It is highly unlikely that Arsenal will be able to broker a deal to welcome Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak to the Emirates Stadium before tomorrow's 11pm deadline, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

After seeing Dusan Vlahovic choose to link-up with Juventus rather than heading to north London from Fiorentina, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has been forced to move onto other attacking targets in the final hours of the window.

Arsenal have reportedly set their sights on prising Isak away from La Liga's Sociedad after missing out on completing the signing of Vlahovic.

Speculation over whether the 32-cap Sweden international is on his way to the Emirates Stadium has heightened over the course of the last 36 hours.

That is because eagle-eyed Arsenal fans have discovered that Isak's car has recently been registered in London.

Isak, who has a release clause of £75million written into his Sociedad contract, has also been spotted in the capital with former Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj.

The 22-year-old has admitted his desire is to eventually secure a switch to the Premier League, potentially bolstering Arsenal's chances of being able to clinch his services.

However, with his £48,000-per-week contract still having two-and-a-half years remaining, Sociedad are in the driving seat when it comes to negotiations.

While Jones admits he is hopeful of Arsenal being able to bring Isak to the English top flight, he has serious doubts over whether a deal will be struck before the window slams shut.

The transfer insider believes the Gunners are going to be frustrated even further having already been snubbed by Vlahovic.
