Newcastle United are keen to Nicholas Jackson as the Chelsea striker prepares to leave for a new challenge this summer. At least five clubs are circling Jackson. Jackson is considered a surplus of requirements at Stamford Bridge ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Enzo Maresca has blown over £80 million and recruited Liam Dellup from Ipswich Town from Joa Pedro from Brighton and Hove Albion as new strikers. Jackson remains in the vicinity of his team and Tyrique George, who is expected to leave forever before the summer transfer deadline.
According to the Sun, Bayern Munich contacted Jackson representatives about a potential dive after losing Jamal Musiala to a long-term injury.
The Bundesliga giants are said to be one of the few clubs in Europe that can still afford a 24-year-old at this stage of the summer.
However, Jackson insists that if an opportunity arises, the two clubs want to link up and stay in the Premier League.
Aston Villa is believed to have expressed interest after manager Unai Emery worked with Senegal International in Villarreal.

But Newcastle is also in the frame as Eddie Howe prepares to replace Alexander Isaac, who is actively pushing to seal the move towards Liverpool.
Also, the St. James Park Switch is said to be a serious concern for Jackson. This is said to be a serious concern for Jackson, considering it offers the opportunity to stay in Premier League and Champions League football.
The report adds that AC Milan and Napoli are also praised, but we can see that Chelsea’s ratings of between £70 and £80 million are problematic.
Newcastle is linked with Ollie Watkins, Sam and Randall Koro Muani, especially as they are looking for a new frontman.
They’ve already missed Hugo Ekichike and Benjamin Sesco, who chose to move to Liverpool and Manchester United.
However, Jackson is an attractive alternative, with Maresca leaving the door wide open for his departure in the coming weeks.
Earlier this summer, he said: “Nico is fine. He’s fine. Unfortunately, or fortunately, anything can happen when the transfer window is open. This includes Nico’s situation.
“At this point we have two new strikers, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, both of whom are currently in the US.
