“Their fans will run mad if Chelsea sign him” – Alan Shearer warns Chelsea against signing 35 goals in 67 appearances man
Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, is reportedly being connected to Chelsea, and it has been said that Chelsea may shatter the British transfer record to get the 24-year-old.
Isak, who was signed by the Premier League two years ago as a young striker from Real Sociedad, has grown into one of the league’s most attractive players.
Isak scored 21 goals in the league the previous season and has 35 goals in 67 appearances for Newcastle.
Legendary Newcastle supporter Alan Shearer stated that if Isak does move to Chelsea, Newcastle supporters will be furious and that the transfer is improbable.
Addressing the speculation over Isak’s future, Shearer told Betfair: “I’m not that worried about Alexander Isak being linked with other clubs. I don’t think he’ll leave.
“I don’t think it can happen. Newcastle supporters would go mad if it happened. What he’s brought to Newcastle and how good a player he is, I’m not sure Chelsea could afford him either.
“I’ve seen the reports and I don’t think there’s anything in that at all. I’d be amazed, angry and disappointed if he left Newcastle.
“He’s been linked with a number of clubs and that shows how well he’s done. He had a really good season.
“We know what he can do in front of goal. He’s a wonderful player. He likes Newcastle. I’d be amazed if he went anywhere.”
