Speaking on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, Scholes downplayed Arsenal’s chances of landing Isak, arguing that the striker should set his sights on a club with bigger ambitions.
“Everyone loves him but I don’t see a possibility of him going to Arsenal,” the Manchester United legend said. “He needs to go bigger and better. We’re talking about Real Madrid here, Liverpool need a centre forward. I think Arsenal would be an option but I think they would be down the list of options.
“I don’t mean that in a bad way but he’s at Newcastle, a really good team, a brilliant team, but they’re not going to win league titles, that’s the next stage of his career. I think it would be a risk to go to Arsenal and do the same thing. Liverpool have got a much better chance, Man City and Real Madrid the same. I think his sights should be higher than Arsenal. He is a player Man United would be looking at but in the position we’re in now… it’s not going to happen.”
