Chelsea are favourites to sign young striker Alexander Isak from Swedish club AIK, ESPN say.

Isak, 17, is one of a host of overseas youngsters to have been linked with a potential move to Stamford Bridge.

Now it is claimed that Chelsea have made an offer and moved ahead of Paris St-Germain and Juventus to become favourites to sign him.

A source is quoted by ESPN as saying: “PSG have been in contact with AIK numerous times but there is no offer on the table right now.

“Inside the club, Chelsea are the favourites and have already proposed €11m.”

Solanke speculation continues

With Dominic Solanke’s representatives still trying to negotiate a new contract for the teenage striker, there is again speculation that he could leave Chelsea.

The Sun say a number of Premier League clubs are interested in the 19-year-old, with contract talks having apparently stalled.

Solanke, who is in the final year of his current deal at the Bridge, had a loan spell at Vitesse Arnhem last season.
