There are a few strikers we’d be really excited about coming to Chelsea, and Alexander Isak would certainly be one of them.
We liked him at Real Sociedad, although it would have been a risk to bring him in then. He’s since come to Newcastle and stepped up really well. So we loved the whispers that we might be in for him this summer if the Magpies are forced to sell by FFP concerns.
Sadly, it doesn’t look like there’s much in that talk – yet.
Fabrizio Romano included a little addendum at the end of his Caughtoffside exclusive this week which says that he’s heard nothing on that front thus far.
And let’s face it, if there was any chance of that interest existing, Romano would be reporting it across all channels.
“Despite stories about Chelsea interest and Newcastle needing to sell because of FFP, I honestly have nothing to report about Alexander Isak at this stage,” the insider wrote.
“No contacts, no talks, very quiet situation. So it would be a guess job from me, as I don’t have any information on Isak for the summer so far. It’s still early, so let’s see.”
It’s certainly one to keep an eye on until the summer.
