According to Sky Sports’ Keith Downie, Chelsea have been back in contact with Newcastle United ‘today’ over a potential move for Alexander Isak.

The Mail’s Craig Hope revealed earlier this week that the Blues had ‘enquired’ about the Swede, who would command a Premier League record fee after a stunning 25-goal season at St James’ Park.

Since then, reports have suggested that the striker is NOT for sale and a huge part of our plans, but it seems Chelsea are continuing to try their luck as Newcastle explore a much-needed sale before the PSR deadline on June 30th.

Personally, I can’t help but wonder if this is a smokescreen before we sell Yankuba Minteh. Selling the Gambian would not go down well amongst the fanbase, as we’re yet to see the exciting winger in a black and white shirt, but losing the 19-year-old may appear more palatable if it’s him over our top scorer and star man in attack?

Newcastle do not want to sell any of their star players but are in a difficult position with PSR deadline looming on July 1.
