Chelsea are the latest Premier League side to have expressed interest in signing Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak who has made his presence known in the ongoing UEFA European Championships.
Isak was an influential presence for Sweden in their opener against Spain in a game that eventually finished in a goalless stalemate and reports from The Express claim that the Blues are wanting to join the fray for the talented attacker.
The younger was in terrific goalscoring form last season in the La Liga
The 21-year-old Isak was one of the most potent threats in La Liga action this past season with the Swede finding the back of the net 17 times across his side’s domestic campaign.
A bright start to his Euros with his national side could mean a greater number of clubs in Europe making their interest known in signing him from Sociedad where is tipped to carry a release clause worth £60million.
Isak seen as an alternative to Erling Haaland by Chelsea?
Chelsea are quite keen on a big-money summer swoop for Borussia Dortmund talisman Erling Haaland but with the Germans seeking a £150 million payout, Thomas Tuchel could be lured into looking elsewhere for alternatives.
At a release of half of what is being demanded for Haaland, Isak is presenting himself to be a major name to watch out for Chelsea’s plans for the summer transfer window.
