In-demand Chelsea target makes decision about summer move!

CHELSEA transfer target Alexander Isak has reportedly made his mind up about his next move and reportedly wants to move to Liverpool this summer after telling Newcastle he wants to leave.

Newcastle made it clear earlier in the transfer window Isak was not for sale this week when Liverpool stepped up their interest in the striker. The Magpies value Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, at £150m at least.

However  – He missed their pre-season game against Celtic on Saturday, with Eddie Howe admitting that was partly down to speculation, as well as a thigh niggle.

But a few days ago came the news that he had been left out of the squad for Newcastle’s pre-season tour – and then that he had told the club he wanted to explore his options in the transfer window.

With a £150million price tag, there aren’t too many options – especially when you discount Saudi Arabia, but reports have claimed that Chelsea are ready to make their move to land one of the clubs long-term targets.

CHELSEA are reportedly prepared to offer Jackson and Sterling as part of the deal that would secure the signing of Isak, as the Blues are looking to get Sterlings £325k-a-week wages off the books, while Jackson will not be needed as much as he was last campaign.

But according to the Guardian, the Swedish striker has outlined his desire to move to Anfield despite interest from a host of European clubs, including Chelsea, as the Reds are the club he is really excited about joining.
