Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, is still attracting interest from Chelsea.

Isak is the kind of proven Premier League goal scorer that new Blues manager Enzo Maresca is looking for to bolster his team.

Newcastle would be seeking for more than £100 million before considering selling their star striker, and they would need to sell a player in order to comply with the Profitability and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) by July 1.

Although Newcastle is aware of the sensitive situation and that failing to sell could result in a deduction of points, they do not want to part with any of their best players this window.

This week, Chelsea received its initial inquiry, and according to Sky Sports News, the teams communicated once again on Friday.

Isak missed two months of the previous campaign due to a recurrent groyne injury, yet he still managed to score 25 goals for Newcastle.

Yankuba Minteh of Newcastle was on the verge of a £35 million transfer to Everton earlier this week, but the agreement fell through.
