Newcastle asked to buy Nicolas Jackson instead of Alexander Isak. |
The Senegal player has played at Stamford Bridge since June 2023, when the Blues pay the £ 32 million fee to sign a contract with the British from Villarreal. Chelsea wants about 50 million pounds for a 24 -year -old player who still contracts to 2033.
So far, Jackson has played a total of 81 matches for Chelsea in all competitions, scored 30 goals and has 12 more assists. In June, it was reported that Juventus contacted Jackson's representative and was considering the offer to recruit this player. AC Milan, Aston Villa and MU also care about him.
Chelsea brought back two new strikers this summer, Liam Delap from Ipswich and Joao Pedro from Brighton. That made Jackson become the third choice in the center, and this is the reason why he considered leaving.
Jackson is not the only striker that Newcastle targets to replace Isak. Ollie Watkins is said to be a feasible option for Newcastle, Chich Chu is also considering recruiting Brentford striker Younge Wissa, they also put Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig at the sight.
