Chelsea and Manchester United have ruled out a move for unsettled Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who has been left out of their pre-season tour of the Far East after saying he wants to explore a move away.
World champions Chelsea have been linked with Isak after Mail Sport’s Craig Hope broke the news that Isak is willing to explore a move elsewhere.
The Blues hierarchy are happy with their current set-up, that includes Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson, as well as the versatile Joao Pedro as an option up front.
The internal suspicion is that their name is being used to drive up a price on the 25-year-old striker.
