TOP STORY: Chelsea eye 'next Ibrahimovic' Isak after Dutch goal blitz
Chelsea are keeping an eye on Borussia Dortmund striker Alexander Isak, a young Swede who has been compared to compatriot Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The 19-year-old has had limited first-team chances since signing from Stockholm club AIK in 2017 but has enjoyed a superb loan spell at Dutch Eredivisie side Willem II, scoring 11 goals in as many games since arriving in January.
That run of form has seen the Chelsea hierarchy take note, withthe Mirror reporting that the Blues sent scouts to watch him in action against Ajax this weekend.
Chelsea are keen to freshen up their striking department by signing a young forward, with 31-year-old on-loan Gonzalo Higuain and 32-year-old Olivier Giroud the only senior strikers on the books.
But they will face competition for Isak, with Real Madrid reportedly also monitoring him.

Man United to treble Eriksen's wages
Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen has emerged as one of Manchester United's prime transfer targets, according to the Mirror.
Denmark captain Eriksen has 14 months remaining on his contract at Spurs, meaning his transfer fee could tumble if he enters the final year of his deal.
That has alerted a number of clubs, but United appear set to steal a march on their rivals by offering to treble the 27-year-old's wages to £240,000-a-week, compared to the £80,000-a-week he picks up in North London.
Eriksen grew up supporting Real Madrid, and there is talk that he would like a move to the Bernabeu to play under Zinedine Zidane, but with Los Blancos prioritising a move for Chelsea forward Eden Hazard, a move to Old Trafford appears increasingly likely.
Despite Eriksen's contract situation, reports claim it would still take up to £95 million for Spurs to consider selling him.
Barca, Real chase Japanese teenager
Real Madrid and Barcelona are chasing highly-rated Japanese teenager Takefusa Kubo, according to Marca.
The 17-year-old was part of Barca's La Masia academy from 2011-2015, but returned to Japan after the club were found to have breached FIFA's international under-18s transfer policy in 2015.
The La Liga champions have monitored Kubo's progress since, but Madrid also have the forward in their sights, with the two set to go head-to-head to sign the Japan under-20 international when he turns 18 in the summer.
Marca also claims Paris Saint-Germain have made their interest in Kubo known to his agent, but the belief at PSG and Madrid is that Kubo is favouring a Camp Nou return.

- The Mirror says Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskajer is set to offer Real Madrid and Juventus target Paul Pogba the club captaincy at Old Trafford in an attempt to show how much United value him. Current skipper Antonio Valencia is set to leave the club.
