“I will be happy if Chelsea signed him” ” he’s about 6ft4, quick, really quick” – Jason Cundy tells Chelsea to hijack €70 million deal
Jason Cundy, a former Chelsea defender, has asked his former team to sabotage Newcastle United’s pursuit of Real Sociedad forward Alexander Isak.
Newcastle United of the Premier League, who had been after Isak all summer, have agreed to pay Sociedad a club record amount of €70 million (£59 million) to acquire the 22-year-services. old’s The Magpies have not yet released a formal statement about the deal, despite it being in advanced stages.
However, Chelsea has been urged by Cundy to move quickly and steal Isak from under Newcastle’s noses. Cundy revealed the following characteristics of the Swede on talkSPORT (as reported by the Express):
“Going back to Isak, the boy they’re going to sign now, what a good player. I have to say now, I would not be unhappy if Chelsea signed him at all. He’s a lot of money, he’s had a lot of moves considering his age, hasn’t quite done it. I think he’s an absolute superstar in the waiting.”
“I think this is a big, bold move, it’s top end, he’s worth it in my opinion. I think he is a proper, proper player. Bags of pace, physically he’s about 6ft4, quick, really quick. Honestly, he’s had a tough time, he had injuries when he was out in Germany, went to Spain. This is a proper player, this kid.”
Having sold Timo Werner and sent Romelu Lukaku out on loan, Thomas Tuchel’s men are believed to be in the market for a striker. Barcelona ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is being heavily linked with the club. It is believed that the Pensioners are willing to pay around €26 million (£22 million) for his services (via football.london).
