“Only Chelsea can sign him & they will win the league” – Alan Shearer confirms Chelsea is the only club to sign £150m player
Because of his high price tag, Alan Shearer thinks Chelsea is the only Premier League team that can afford to purchase Alexander Isak, the top striker for Newcastle United. The 25-year-old is reputedly valued at £150 million by Newcastle, and Shearer hinted that they would seek considerably more.
“Other than possibly Chelsea, I genuinely don’t think that anybody could afford to buy Alexander Isak,” Shearer told Betfair.
“Because of the way that the rules are structured with PSR, I don’t think that anybody could afford him.”
Chelsea, known for their big spending under BlueCo, could target Isak after splashing record fees on players like Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. Shearer praised Isak’s impact, stating, “If you’ve paid £63 million for someone and he’s smashing the league up like he is right now, what would the price be? £150m? I don’t think that they would even entertain that—why would they?”
Isak, who has 13 goals and four assists in 18 Premier League games this season, continues to impress, solidifying his status as one of the league’s top strikers.
