A former Chelsea<\/a> striker has tipped the Blues to make a ‘huge transfer bid’ for Arsenal<\/a> target Alexander Isak<\/a> during the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have been repeatedly linked with a move for Newcastle United<\/a> star Isak, who is valued at more than \u00a3100m by the Magpies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Isak has been a consistent performer ever since he arrived at St James’ Park from Real Sociedad – scoring 44 goals in 70 Premier League games for Newcastle.<\/p>\n

But Isak is currently enjoying a particularly fruitful spell in front of goal, netting 14 goals in his last 15 games to help Newcastle climb to fifth in the Premier League, just one point off the Champions League places.<\/p>\n

Given the numbers involved, a January move for Isak seems unlikely, though ex-Chelsea striker Pat Nevin has tipped his former club to launch a stunning move.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are enduring a wobble following a sensational first-half to the season, with goals suddenly becoming hard to come by and Nicolas Jackson missing a number of chances.<\/p>\n

While Nevin ‘would not be surprised’ if Chelsea made a ‘huge bid’ for Isak, he believes Arsenal would be the perfect club for the Sweden international<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘I would not be surprised if Chelsea made a huge bid for Alexander Isak this January if they get any sort of hint that he is available,’ Nevin told Grosvenor Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘Chelsea would love him. Having said that, I think he would be the best possible fit for Arsenal and if I was him I would be looking at that.<\/p>\n

‘Style-wise and technique-wise, can you imagine him playing in front of Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard, it would be scary.<\/p>\n

‘Manchester United might also be involved if they hear that he is available, but I can\u2019t imagine how Eddie Howe would feel about letting him go.’<\/p>\n

Discussing Chelsea’s recent struggles and Jackson’s dip in form, Nevin added: ‘They were never in title contention in my mind.<\/p>\n

‘I was quite bullish in saying I thought they would finish in the top four before the season had started because things ended alright under Mauricio Pochettino last season.<\/p>\n

‘The maturity of some of the younger players was becoming a bit more obvious and they\u2019ve obviously got some very decent players given the money they have spent. I certainly thought they would be challenging.<\/p>\n

‘Enzo Maresca has been right in saying there is still maturing to be done and that his players still need to learn, but their recent form could come down to something as simple as Nicolas Jackson missing his chances.<\/p>\n
