Newcastle United targets Nicolas Jackson as Chelsea opens door for striker transfer

Newcastle United pursues Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson as their summer transfer target. The Telegraph confirms the Magpies will submit a formal bid for the Senegalese striker. Chelsea management shows a willingness to part with Jackson before the transfer window closes. This pursuit follows Newcastle's failed attempt to secure Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. The Austrian forward chose Manchester United over Newcastle's advances.

Jackson arrived at Stamford Bridge during the summer of 2023 from Spanish club Villarreal. Chelsea paid 37 million euros for the 24-year-old attacker's services. His current agreement binds him to the London club through 2033. Jackson contributed 13 goals and six assists across 37 appearances last season. His versatile attacking abilities attract Newcastle's recruitment team as they seek striking reinforcements.
