After almost three months of storyline, rumors and movement, the transfer window finally closed, and it was a good summer for Arsenal.
While it can be argued that the team still needs a new left, Andrea Berta and CO have done an incredible job adding eight talented players to Mikel Arteta’s team, including a few who could change the game.
But all the good work done by the gunners, the window story, and the biggest headline grabber of the past few weeks was Alexander Isaac.
The former Newcastle United goal car has finally moved to Liverpool, which was a record-breaking experience, but Arsenal can be pleased with the knowledge that one of their stars remains more valuable.
Isaac’s transfer and Arsenal’s deal
He had a rather late start in the Premier League, but Isaac slowly transformed into one of the best strikers in world football before Liverpool called him.
Throughout his Newcastle career, the Swedish star has scored a sensational tally of 62 goals and 11 assists in 109 appearances in a total of 7,977 minutes.
In other words, the 25-year-old game-changer was able to maintain average goal involvement every 1.49 games or every 109.27 minutes with three seasons of spells.
With such numbers and the fact that he is such a fun player to watch, it’s not difficult for the Reds to understand why he thinks he’s worthy of a £125 million price tag.
However, his move to Anfield made the defending champion an overwhelming favourite in the hearts of many fans and experts, but Arsenal also made some of the best additions to Arteta’s team.
Viktor Gyoker, for example, may have struggled on Sunday, but while working in Sports CP, he scored 97 goals and provided 28 assists in 102 appearances.
Similarly, Martin Zubimendi has not necessarily hit the ground running in red and white, but he has been one of the most sought after midfielders in European football in recent years and will definitely be good in time.
Finally, Noni Maduke and Cristhian Mosquera looked pretty impressive against the Reds. And after seeing him for Crystal Palace in the last few years, Eberechi Eze could be the one who helps unlock Gunners’ attacks.
In all, North Londoners have spent around £255 million on signing this summer, not bringing in anyone worth as much as Isak, but Arteta already has millions of players more than his team.
Arsenal Star worth millions more than Isaac
The club has won nothing with this current team, but Arsenal is blessed with plenty of talent.
For example, William Saliba, Declan Rice, David Raya and others appear in most teams around the world and get ratings based on their talent level.
But when we talk about the most valuable player on the Gunners team, the player worth millions more than Isaac, there’s one name that stands out more than anything else.
Of course, we are talking about the club’s face, on and off the pitch, and about the talismans and Bukayosaka.
The Ealing-born game-changer has transformed from a promising academy product into a world-class superstar in front of loyal Emirates for the past five years or so. His prices reflect his status in the game.
According to Transher Markt, Gunners’ “Legend in the Making,” dubbed by Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, is worth an incredible 150 million euros.
Now, it still doesn’t deny that it’s extraordinary amounts worth it for a relatively young player, but it’s hard to argue that it’s unfair based on his performance over the last few years and his importance to the people of North London.

For example, athletic studies show that despite being only 23 years old and thus three years away from the expected peak, the dynamic winger has made 265 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 71 goals and providing 72 assists.
Plus, his numbers last season aren’t too far, despite missing nearly four months with a hamstring injury and having to work in a way back to full match fitness.
In 37 appearances for the gunners in a total of 2,619 minutes, the British scored 12 goals and provided 14 assists.
It comes up on the sensational average of goal involvement every 1.42 games or every 100.73 minutes.

In contrast, the former Tonestar scored 27 goals and provided six assists in 42 appearances, totaling 3,324 minutes.
That means that the average goal involvement is slightly better every 1.27 games or every 100.72 minutes.
What’s more, it’s even more impressive that the Hale-end icon posted comparable numbers in the injured campaign, taking into account the Swedes playing the middle and expecting it to be a threat to his main goal.
Ultimately, Isak is an extraordinary player and appears ready to make the Premier League title a hunt for Arsenal this season.
But in Saka, they have more valuable people. As long as he continues to be healthy, there may be people who can make a difference.
