Chelsea set to pay £83m for Newcastle United's Alexander Isak
Chelsea They have done a magnificent attacking job this season with their forwards, Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson, doing a commendable job for the team in all competitions. Between them, the forwards have scored 20 goals and provided five assists so far this campaign, but Enzo Maresca has not ruled out making more offensive additions.
According to Spanish source Fichajes (h/t 90min)Chelsea are willing to pay £83 million to sign him. Newcastle UnitedEdit shooter Alexander Isak. The former Real Sociedad ace has been one of the best first division strikers in recent years and has been in ArsenalThe radar, in addition to having noted seven goals and three assists in all competitions in 2024/25.
Isak would be a great signing for Chelsea
The signing of Alexander Isak would be a welcome boost in the final third for Chelsea, who are looking to build a team that can land them a first Premier League title since 2017. A top-four place is eventually materializing this season, but Todd Boehly has clearly shown greater ambition than that and will be willing to spend more money on new signings if that's what it takes.
Isak would certainly be attracted to joining Chelsea as they are likely to feature in the champions league next season and I can offer you a good salary. Newcastle, who looked very promising a year or two ago, have underperformed this time and find themselves in the bottom half of the league table, which could be a factor in tempting the Swede to leave next year.
Although Chelsea are willing to offer good money to sign him, his possible arrival in London could depend on the future of Christopher Nkunku. He has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge of late and a move elsewhere could free up a decent chunk of the club's wage bill, while Nicolas Jackson is unlikely to be affected and could slot in at left wing.
