Arsenal have tried and failed to win the Premier League for the last two seasons under Mikel Arteta.
Manchester City have pipped them both times, and the Gunners have made a slow start this season.
Former Arsenal star Alan Smith has urged the North London side to sign Newcastle United superstar Alexander Isak.
Arsenal came close to winning their first Premier League title in 20 years last season, but a slip late in the season cost them. This campaign, they are already eight points off the leaders after 12 games.

Arsenal told to sign Isak
The Gunners have lacked a reliable number nine since they started challenging for the league title. Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah, and Kai Havertz struggled to get enough goals for Aerteta's side.
Former Gunners star Alan Smith believes the Newcastle striker is the missing link in the Arsenal attack.
“I think Alexander Isak would definitely fit in at Arsenal,” Smith said. “It might be that he doesn’t play every week, but I am a big fan of his," Smith said via The Mirror.
"Technically, he is very good and I think you have to be in that Arsenal team. He’s somebody that’ll play on that last line more than Kai Havertz wants to do.”
The Swede scored a brilliant header for the Magpies to defeat Arsenal on November 2 in the Premier League. Smith added that Isak is the missing link in the Arsenal team and add depth.
“There’s a missing link in their attack and Isak would complete it."
Arsenal's starting striker last season, Havertz, scored 13 goals in the league.
Arteta Praises Thomas Partey
Briefly News also reported that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has commended Thomas Partey for his standout display in their UEFA Champions League clash against Sporting Lisbon.
The 31-year-old Ghanaian midfielder delivered one of his finest performances this season, helping the Gunners secure an emphatic 5-1 win in Portugal. Partey, a vital player since his transfer from Atletico Madrid, has struggled with injuries in past seasons but is now showing the consistency Arteta admires.
