A Premier League club have made an inquiry about Alexander Isak ahead of the new season, according to stunning reports.
Isak joined Newcastle United in the summer of 2022 and scored 10 goals in his debut campaign.
But the star forward enjoyed a superb goal-scoring campaign last season, bagging an impressive 25 goals in all competitions.
Isak's goal-scoring exploits have attracted interest from Chelsea, who have made an inquiry as they want to sign the player this summer.

That's according to The Daily Mail, who claim 'conversations' have taken place between Newcastle and Chelsea.
The report clams the Blues know that any deal would take a club-record fee beyond the £115 million they splashed out to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
It's claimed Isak's market value is at least double the £63 million Newcastle paid Real Sociedad when they snapped him up.
The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best forwards in the Premier League following his performances since arriving in England.

Isak's not the only Newcastle player linked with a move away from St James' Park as Bruno Guimaraes is thought to be courting interest from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.
Eddie Howe, however, is hellbent on holding onto his stars, but the club could be forced to sell their best players to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Isak, meanwhile, isn't the only forward Chelsea are keeping tabs on this summer.

They're reportedly monitoring Barcelona's Marc Guiu and Aston Villa's Jhon Duran.
Lille's Jonathan David and Hoffenheim's Maximilian Beier are also on the club's transfer wish-list as they look to recruit a proven finisher for Enzo Maresca, who was appointed this month.
Nicolas Jackson, who joined from Villarreal, netted 17 goals across all competitions last season while Cole Palmer was the Chelsea's top scorer, with an incredible 25 goals.
