How good is Isak Alexander? Apparently the biggest young talent in Sweden, only 17 and has scored a bunch of goals for his club already at first team level. Dubbed the new Zlatan and apparently close to signing for Chelski.
Should Arsenal go after him?
I don't think I've ever heard anyone call him the new Zlatan domestically. The guy's good, probably sticking out a bit because of the poor state of Swedish football. I don't think he's a world class talent though. If he does anything at all in Europe it'll be years from now. He might be worth gambling on but I doubt he's gonna be an Arsenal level player. When Zlatan broke through, by contrast, everyone knew that he was going to be one of the handfull best players on the planet in the future. It was so obvious.
I actually think Jordan Larsson (that's Henrik Larsson's son) looks like a better talent all things considered. He seems destined for Feyenoord at the moment though.
