Chelsea have a verbal deal in place to bring Newcastle striker Alexander Isak to Stamford Bridge, according to several close‑to‑the‑club sources. Personal terms are settled on a five‑year contract with an optional extra season, and all paperwork between the player and the Blues is already signed—Chelsea now await the final go‑ahead before making the transfer official.
The fee is thought to be about £90 million, which would rank Isak among the costliest signings in club history. Hand‑picked by new boss Enzo Maresca to spearhead the attack, the 24‑year‑old Swede—renowned for his pace, movement and clinical finishing—will inherit the storied No. 9 shirt.
Isak hit 21 league goals for Newcastle last term despite injury interruptions, and Chelsea hope his mix of technique and physicality will reignite their push for domestic and European glory.
Stamford Bridge is braced for the “Isak era.” Official confirmation is expected soon.
