Alexander Isak is a key target for Antonio Conte, but he will not be alone in his quest for the ‘new Zlatan Ibrahimovic’.

To the relief of the Chelsea boss, Real Madrid have had a bid of £7m turned down for the youngster.

The Swedish forward plays for AIK Fotboll and has bagged himself an impressive 10 goals in 24 appearances, so far.

Conte has also been strongly linked with Sampdoria striker Luis Muriel, according to Italian website Calciomercato.com.

The in-form Colombian has bagged six goals in 14 appearances so far this campaign, but as the form of his side sinks – a move to the Premier League is looking ever likely.

The speculation continues around the future of Cesc Fabregas at Stamford Bridge, with a number of clubs set to have taken a keen interest in the Chelsea bench-warmer.

The Spanish midfielder has been linked with a return to the Emirates by the Daily Star.

Following firm links with a move to Stamford Bridge, Marcelo Brozovic has suddenly snubbed a move to the Premier League after signing a new contract with Inter Milan.

The renewed contract will include a £42m release clause.
