Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has been targeted by burglars who stole a car from the Sweden international’s home.

Isak’s house at Darras Hall in Northumberland was hit by the robbers on Thursday, just 48 hours before he played in Newcastle’s 1-0 win at Fulham on Saturday.

Northumbria Police said it received a report of a burglary from a property at around 1005 BST on Thursday.

“The offence is believed to have taken place earlier that day. It was reported that offenders gained entry to the property and took a vehicle from the address,” a police spokesperson said.

“The vehicle was later found abandoned in the Dissington area, and the occupants had fled the scene.”

It is not known whether Isak or his family were at home at the time of the burglary.

The break-in came three months after Isak’s Newcastle team-mate Joelinton had his home burgled.

The Brazilian midfielder was not at his house, which is also in the Darras Hall estate, at the time, but received a security alert on his phone as it happened.

Wealthy Premier League stars have long been prime targets for burglars, with Manchester City winger Jack Grealish’s Cheshire home raided in December.

The thieves took jewellery and watches during City’s Premier League clash against Everton.

“This has been a traumatic experience for all of us, I am just so grateful that nobody was hurt,” Grealish said at the time.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
