Chelsea encouraged to break the bank and sign proven Premier League star

CHELSEA should ‘break the bank’ to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak in the upcoming transfer window, according to reporter Iomie Stanley – but the board wont sign the big man.

Chelsea were interested in signing another striker to provide cover and competition for Nicolas Jackson and continue to be linked with Victor Osimhen, but a deal for the Nigerian star failed to happen in the summer.

Alexander Isak has a similar price tag of £115 million and despite the fact that Newcastle have no intention of letting their star man leave – Stanley has said that Isak is the idea man to lead that Chelsea attack – he is an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson.

‘Newcastle have done well to keep Alexander Isak at the club this summer window – they have managed to evade all the transfer rumours and keep the Swedish star happy enough to want to stay

‘If I was a CHELSEA , I’d be breaking the bank for Isak. If Chelsea got Isak, they’d be certainty for a top-four finish. They would certainly manage to score more goals on a weekly basis.

‘Nicolas Jackson managed to net 17 goals last season for the Blues, which is a decent amount for his first season – but he is a player that will probably miss alot more than he will score.

‘He has so many creative players behind him – but he showed in the game against Man City that when he is needed – he lets the side side – Isak will not do that.

‘There has been alot of transfer speculation about the future of Victor Osimhen – he is the man that Chelsea reportedly wants – but if Enzo Maresca wants a proven Premier League player, then Isak is the man.’
