Barcelona are reportedly set to make an offer for one player who is currently being linked to Chelsea.
Chelsea‘s attack does not look to be a problem right now. Across the 12 Premier League games that Enzo Maresca‘s side have played so far this season, they have scored 23 goals.
Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are the only sides who have scored more times than Chelsea in the top flight.
Nevertheless, the Blues are still being linked with strikers. It has been reported, for example, that Chelsea are eyeing Alexander Isak.

Barcelona want Alexander Isak
If Chelsea are planning to sign Isak next year, then they are not going to get a free run at the Newcastle United forward.
According to The Sun, Barcelona have made Isak their No.1 target for next summer and will make a big-money offer for him.
Isak was in deadly form for Newcastle last season, scoring 21 goals in 30 Premier League appearances. This term, he has four in 10.

Chelsea fans were not moved by Isak in the Magpies’ last game, a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United.
What Alexander Isak would bring to Barcelona or Chelsea
Whoever ends up with Isak if he does decide to leave St James’ Park next year will be getting a very good finisher.
The 25-year-old has already shown Chelsea first-hand how clinical he can be in front of goal.
Isak scored in both of Newcastle’s games against Chelsea this season. He netted in his side’s 2-1 Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge and then in their 2-0 win in the Carabao Cup at St James’ Park.
Speaking about Isak on Match of the Day (via BBC Sport) last season, Newcastle legend Alan Shearer said: “He is just a constant threat all the time. His finishing is excellent and his penalty taking is as good as they come.”
Again, then, Isak would bring elite finishing to Barcelona or Chelsea if one of the European giants went on to sign him. With a contract until 2028, though, there is no guarantee that Newcastle will sell the Sweden international.
