Former Arsenal forward fingered the perfect player the Gunner's should sign.
Arsenal legend Theo Walcott urged his former club to make a serious move for Newcastle forward Alexander Isak, 22, as he believes he is the ideal striker the Gunners need.
The Gunners are one of the main contenders for the Premier League title this season, and while they were tipped by many to finally depose Manchester City, Arteta's side have had an uninspiring start and are currently nine points behind league leaders Liverpool.

'They are talking' — Victor Osimhen opens up on Galatasaray future
Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has cleared the air on his future amid links to Chelsea, and Arsenal.
For many, one of the major problems the Gunners have is the lack of a reliable goalscorer, and Walcott, who made 397 appearances for Arsenal during his 12-year spell at the club, believes Isak is a great fit for the aforementioned problem.
What Walcott said
"Isak is the sort of player Arsenal genuinely need, but you would say everyone needs a player like him in their team right now, even Liverpool, and it is not just Premier League teams who will be trying to get hold of him either," Walcott told BBC Sport.
"Look at Real Madrid’s line-up at this moment in time. They go for these Galacticos and buy these incredible talents, but they sometimes put them in positions where they can’t quite do it.

“I would say that if you put Isak in that Real team, then he moulds them together in a different way, where you might think they now look like a very well-balanced team. That’s the level he's at, and I can absolutely understand why all the very top teams would want him."
Isak has carried on his form from last term into this season for the Magpies. He scored 21 goals in the Premier League last season and is already on four this term.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are in the market for a striker and reportedly had a bid rejected by Aston Villa for Jhon Duran.
