Chelsea is preparing to capitalize on a major deal involving Arsenal next summer. **TEAMtalk** reports that Chelsea aims to leverage Arsenal’s anticipated move for Alexander Isak, the Newcastle United forward.
Reports suggest the Swedish international, who has excelled for the Magpies, is uncertain about his long-term future at St. James’ Park. His doubts reportedly stem from frustration over limited UEFA Champions League involvement.
Managed by Enzo Maresca, Chelsea is rumored to have reached out to the 25-year-old regarding a potential transfer and is said to be preparing a £115 million offer to bring him to Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Newcastle is reportedly eager to retain Isak by offering him a lucrative new contract.
Chelsea believes a significant bid might convince Newcastle to sell. Arsenal has also been strongly linked with Isak, described as their “dream” acquisition.
