Chelsea ready to pay £115 million and sign Premier League star

CHELSEA are ready to break the Premier League transfer record and try to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.

Speculation has mounted over a summer move for the Swedish forward due to Newcastle’s need to balance the books for Profit and Sustainability Rules reasons,

It was no secret that the club were keen on the man way before he made the move to Newcastle – and with new boss Enzo keen to add a new striker to that attack – Isak suits the style of the club.

Isak scored 10 goals in 27 games last season, firing his club to Champions League qualification and the Carabao Cup final, and has followed that up with 25 goals this campaign after managing to stay away from injury for the most part of the season.

Reports have claimed that Talks have already taken place between the two clubs and the club are ready to pay in excess of the £115 million they spent on Moises Caicedo last summer, which will break the Premier League transfer record again.

In response to the rumours linking him with a big money move, Isak told Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen: ‘I’m enjoying myself very, very much in Newcastle.

‘I just had the best season of my career. That should not be underestimated.I love everything really about the club, the fans, the city.’

Isak added: ‘I actually have no thoughts of a move or anything like that. I enjoy myself fantastically well and am very happy with my life.’
