“Break the bank for him” – “He’s Jackson upgrade” – Chelsea told to sign brilliant 24-year old
Reporter Iomie Stanley claims that CHELSEA should “break the bank” to get Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, before to the transfer deadline; however, the board is unwilling to sign the big guy.
Chelsea is still interested in signing Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker, but the hefty cost of the player has made a deal more challenging. Chelsea needs a striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson and provide cover.
Although Newcastle has no intention of losing their best player, Alexander Isak is an upgrade over Nicolas Jackson and has a similar price tag of £115 million. Stanley has stated that Isak is the ideal guy to lead the Chelsea attack.
‘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.
‘However – that CHELSEA board will not want to spend a big amount of money on a proven player that will probably not be worth more than he is right now in a few seasons time – that is why he will not end up at the Blues.
‘That board would rather spend £161 million on players many fans cant even remember – then on big players that will make an immediate impact.’
