Arsenal could miss out on La Liga striker

Arsenal could miss out on signing Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak this summer amid concrete interest from Barcelona.

The Swede was heavily linked with Mikel Arteta's side last month, but they refused to trigger the £66 million release clause on his contract.

Sociedad had no plans to negotiate for him, but their stance could change this summer, considering the striker has had an indifferent season.

According to Sport, the Gunners are planning a possible summer move, but their prospects of landing his services are slim at the moment.

Isak has the clear preference to join Barcelona this summer. The Catalan giants have identified him as the alternative to Erling Braut Haaland.

Haaland appears unlikely to join them amid their period of transition. Isak could end up emerging as the top striker target for the summer.

The Gunners faced a similar snub last month with Dusan Vlahovic opting to join Juventus from Fiorentina. They may have to look elsewhere once again.
