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

Newcastle have reportedly identified two Premier League strikers as alternatives to Yoane Wissa after Brentford 'closed the door' on his exit.

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.

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.

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.

Newcastle United star Alexander Isak wants to explore his options and Liverpool ambassador Ian Rush has suggested that 'every top club' would love to sign the striker

Eddie Howe fielded eight questions on the striker during Saturday's 15-minute press conference. The situation is beyond a distraction now

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.
