Fabrizio Romano provides Alexander Isak update amid reports of Tottenham bid
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are not expected to make an offer for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who is rumoured to be on Tottenham’s radar.
Alexander Isak is one of the best strikers in England
Isak has been a massive hit at St James’ Park since swapping Real Sociedad for Newcastle two years ago and the striker has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most feared marksmen in the Premier League.
Over the last few months, a number of outlets have suggested that the Sweden international is one of the names on Ange Postecoglou’s striker wishlist (The Athletic).
Football Insider even claimed two weeks ago that Tottenham may see Isak as the ideal ‘marquee’ signing for this summer and would be ready to break their transfer record to take him off Newcastle’s hands.
The publication asserted that the Lilywhites could soon be set to make a ‘huge bid’ to test the Magpies’ resolve.
Chelsea have not made a move for Isak
Romano has now taken to social media to state that although Chelsea like Isak, they are currently not working on a deal for the centre-forward.
This is because the Blues consider Newcastle’s asking price for the 24-year-old to be too high at the moment.
The journalist adds that Eddie Howe’s men consider Isak a ‘key player’ and that they plan to keep him at the club unless they receive a ‘crazy proposal’.
Spurs Web Opinion
The fact that Tottenham are not making any advances towards any strikers makes me doubt that the club might have something big up their sleeve.
However, I cannot see Spurs being able to afford Isak unless they potentially get a fee of around £50m for Richarlison.
