Thomas Tuchel may have to re-consider his Chelsea transfer priorities ahead of September 1 because of Newcastle United.
The Toon have made a few lowkey additions so far this summer including making Matt Targett's loan permanent. They have also signed highly-rated defender Sven Botman. But so far, their eagerly anticipated first summer transfer window under the PIF Saudi ownership appeared to be heading on track to become an underwhelming one.
However, this is all set to change. The Athletic have reported that Newcastle's £60m move for Alexander Isak is now 'imminent' and the fun doesn't stop there for the Magpies. This is due to reports such as The Telegraph's Luke Edwards tweeted: 'Told nufc pushing hard for Gallagher on loan from Chelsea after landing Isak from Real Sociedad. I have to be honest I have no idea where this leaves Pedro deal now. Some saying deal remains close, others saying Watford have rejected final bid already this week. We shall see.'
