City face competition from Chelsea, Juve, Real and PSG for Alexander Isak
SIMON JONES: Manchester City are continuing to monitor Swedish teenager Alexander Isak.
The 17-year-old Isak, who has 13 goals in 29 appearances this year, is also being followed closely by Chelsea, Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain who have all contacted his club AIK.
Leicester City had earmarked Isak last season as one to watch and they invited him over to train while Sunderland and Stoke have also been to watch the exciting forward.
However, the calibre of clubs left in the hunt reflects how highly AIK value to the 6ft 3ins Sweden U21 international as they look for a club record transfer fee.
City have also been following Ajax's highly-rated 19-year-old forward Kasper Dolberg, as are Chelsea and Manchester United, while they also have interest in Ipswich Town's England U15 international midfielder Ben Knight.
