Arsenal have been told that they can profit from the Alexander Isak saga when they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool this weekend - just days before the end of the summer transfer window.

Isak, 25, has been linked with both clubs over the past few months after another stellar season at Newcastle.

It is Liverpool, though, who still harbour hopes of signing the Swede in a what would be a British record transfer before the September 1 transfer deadline, with Isak doing his best to force a move.

Newcastle have been locked in a stand-off with their star striker, who is adamant he will not play for them again amid interest from Liverpool.

The Premier League champions are expected to push for Isak between now and the end of the window - and former Arsenal defender Lauren reckons the distraction of Isak could help his old side in their bid to head back to north London with maximum points.

"You have to aim for three points and not think about a draw," Lauren told Aceodds.com.

"Especially in the early moments of the season, when Liverpool, Arsenal, none of the players are at a hundred percent because you need a few more games to be at your best level.

"The momentum is good for Arsenal.

We are in a position and ready to win against Liverpool and hopefully go on to win the league."
