Chelsea to offer Jackson and Sterling plus £70M to secure signing of 23-goal star

Alexander Isak has had his head well and truly turned by by a big money move this transfer window, and it has now been claimed that CHELSEA are willing to offer Nicolas Jackson and Raheem Sterling plus £70 million to secure the signing of the big Swedish star

Chelsea have been very busy this transfer window, they have spent over £200 million on bringing in new players to improve many areas of the squad and now look like a side that can challenge for that Premier League title next season.

Joao Pedro and Liam Delap have both arrived this transfer window, but with the reports that Nicolas Jackson could be leaving the club this transfer window, there may be a chance for another striker to be signed and Isak is a player that Chelsea really admire.

Newcastle made it clear earlier in the transfer window Isak was not for sale this week when Liverpool stepped up their interest in the striker. The Magpies value Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, at £150m at least.

However – He missed their pre-season game against Celtic on Saturday, with Eddie Howe admitting that was partly down to speculation, as well as a thigh niggle.

But a few days ago came the news that he had been left out of the squad for Newcastle’s pre-season tour – and then that he had told the club he wanted to explore his options in the transfer window.

With a £150million price tag, there aren’t too many options – especially when you discount Saudi Arabia, but reports have claimed that Chelsea are ready to make their move to land one of the clubs long-term targets.

Chelsea are reportedly prepared to offer Jackson and Sterling as part of the deal that would secure the signing of Isak, as the Blues are looking to get Sterlings £325k-a-week wages off the books, while Jackson will not be needed as much as he was last campaign.

IcFootballnews Says…

If CHELSEA, Arsenal or Liverpool managed to sign Isak, they would be favourites to win that Premier League title next season, the big striker is one of the best around and would immediately improve those attacks.

Chelsea have improved that attack already this summer, but adding Isak and getting rid of Jackson and Sterling in the process, it would be some great business by the Blues.
