Arsenal hold an interest in Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze, who would help solve that issue of having more creativity from the left. The 27-year-old is also capable of producing the “magic moments” that Arteta has claimed his team lacks. For several reasons, Isak joining Liverpool would ramp up the pressure on Arsenal to sign Eze.

The Reds may have won the Premier League last campaign, but with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea all improving during the offseason, things will be much harder this time around, especially as Liverpool look to break in new players in key positions.
