Chelsea’s firepower has been lacking in the Premier League this season, having the third-worst goal record in the top half of the table, and it seems that they are looking for solutions to add more goals to the squad going forward. This has led them to be linked towards a potential move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.

Romano insists that there have been “no contacts” and “no talks” between either of the two parties over a possible transfer and that the situation around Isak’s future is very quiet. He states there is no information on what the Swedish forward is looking to do in the summer window and that “it’s still early” into the new year, so only time will tell if he opts to join another club after this season is over.
Which Striker Could Chelsea Sign?
Chelsea’s latest summer striker signing Nicolas Jackson has scored seven goals in 22 Premier League games and has found it difficult to maintain consistency with his performances. That is why the Blues are likely to sign a new forward in the summer and are reported to have an interest in Brighton striker Evan Ferguson.
Moreover, the London heavyweights also reportedly made Napoli star Victor Osimhen a prime target for January, but opted against signing anyone in the winter window. They are likely to plan summer transfers once the 2023/24 season is over and could be compelled to try and make a move for Isak if he has an extraordinary finish to the season. The Swedish forward, hailed as “terrific” by Eddie Howe earlier in this campaign, has 14 goals in 25 appearances this season and even managed to score against title contenders like Liverpool and Manchester City.
