Newcastle United are reportedly plotting a move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, with Alexander Isak rumored to exit.

Isak will cost at least £130m and Newcastle obviously want him to stay, but the news has rocked officials at St James’ Park, with club chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan ‘taking control’ in an ‘unusual’ move from the PIF boss.

Anthony Elanga, who scored at the Singapore National Stadium on his full debut, is Newcastle's only summer signing so far.

The Swedish goalscorer is the centre of a transfer storm and Eddie Howe has provided the latest on the situation as Liverpool spy a blockbuster deal.

Amid the rumors, The Athletic’s Adam Crafton believes PSG are the only European club that can afford to pay for Isak and left the door open for a transfer between Newcastle and the Parisians happening.

For United, the smartest move would be to act swiftly, securing the deal before more suitors enter the race and locking in a player who could add much-needed dynamism to their current setup.

Liverpool’s dream target is Isak, even though they have already signed Hugo Ekitike. But, there is one concern about the Newcastle star that has put off other suitors. Alexander Isak is one of the best strikers in the world.
