Report: Champions League club add 19 g/a Chelsea star to list of transfer targets | OneFootball

Newcastle have added Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson to their list of attacking targets according to reports.

Jackson’s future has been questioned following the arrival of both Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, with the latter in particular making an instant impact.

For the first time in his Chelsea career Jackson now faces genuine competition for his place, and it will be interesting to see how he responds.

Newcastle add Nicolas Jackson to their list of targets

Jackson is now arguably third choice at Stamford Bridge after the Club World Cup, in which he failed to score, got sent off against Flamengo, and was an unused substitute in the final.

The 24-year-old has attracted interest from AC Milan, but a deal is thought to be too expensive for the Italian giants.

There’s interest in Jackson from Manchester United and Aston Villa, but as of yet no official offers have been made for the Senegal international.

However, it appears another Premier League side now have him on their radar, and Mail Sport have reported Newcastle have added Jackson to their list of attacking targets.

Chelsea reportedly believe Jackson has the potential to become a £100m striker, whilst the expectation is said to be that he’ll be a Blues player come the end of the window.

Jackson scored ten Premier League goals last season, and if he remains at the club there will need to be an improvement on that next season.

With questions continuing to hang over the future of Jackson, Joao Felix is heading closer to the exit door after just one season at Chelsea.
