After the news broke involving a potential Chelsea transfer, here is the potential Chelsea lineup with Alexander Isak. It should definitely inspire Enzo Maresca to push forward.

Today, we reported that Chelsea were preparing to lock horns with Arsenal, over the potential signing of Alexander Isak. It should come as no surprise that Newcastle United insist on £115m for his transfer.

Over the last few seasons, Alexander Isak has established himself as one of the best strikers in the world, let alone the Premier League. Considering he is still only 25 years old, he might spend his best days at Chelsea.

With that being said, let's take a look at the potential Chelsea lineup with Alexander Isak. In this hypothetical world, Chelsea would be remiss not to spend £115m.


The Chelsea lineup with Alexander Isak shows he’s worth £115m

Goalkeeper and defence

Sanchez; James, Colwill, Fofana, Cucurella

Robert Sanchez has established himself as the number one option between the sticks for Chelsea this season. Having played all twelve Premier League games for Chelsea this season, he's unlikely to lose his spot next season.

Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana will continue to be Enzo Maresca's centre back pairing of choice. Off the right, Reece James will hopefully stay fit (very unlikely, but we can hope). On the left, Marc Cucurella will enter the prime stages of his career.


Midfield

Caicedo-Lavia-Palmer

The attack-orientated midfield three has worked perfectly for Maresca this season.

So, Moises Caicedo will continue to pull the strings and anchor the defence. Just ahed of him, Romeo Lavia will hope to keep up his match sharpness. Cole Palmer will play just behind Alexander Isak, in what could be one of the best attacking partnerships in the world.


Attack

Madueke-Isak-Neto

Playing as the central striker will be Alexander Isak. While he has shown the versatility to play out wide, he should replace Nicolas Jackson as the number one option through the middle for Chelsea. It would complete a near-perfect Chelsea team.

Off the right, Noni Madueke will continue to prosper. Feeding off Isak and playing balls into the Sweden international might make him one of the best wingers in the Premier League. The same can be said for Pedro Neto, who also must work on his fitness levels next season.


Predicted Chelsea lineup with Alexander Isak: Sanchez; James, Colwill, Fofana, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia, Palmer; Madueke, Isak, Neto
