Arsenal make last-ditch phone call to Alvaro Morata in transfer deadline day striker bid

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is thought to have made a last-ditch attempt to bring in a new striker before the transfer window closes by reaching out to Juventus striker Alvaro Morata.

Real Sociedad star Alexander Isak is rumoured to have been sounded out as a potential alternative to Vlahovic, but the 22-year-old Sweden international now looks set to stay in Spain despite some reported sightings of the striker in London.
