Chelsea dealt blow in their pursuit of 24-year-old Premier League star

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

According to Football Insider, there is strong interest from Chelsea but Newcastle are now confident of holding on to the player and agreeing on a new contract with him.

The 24-year-old has been outstanding for Newcastle this past season and he scored 25 goals in all competitions last year.

Keeping him at the club will be a top priority for Newcastle as they look to get back into European football.
