Overview

• Chelsea have omitted Jackson from matchday squads and are actively marketing the striker after new forward signings reduced his role.
• Aston Villa have opened talks for Jackson, with Unai Emery aiming to rekindle their partnership from their time at Villarreal.
• Newcastle United are considered frontrunners by Italian outlet Calciomercato but have yet to submit a formal offer.
• Chelsea’s asking price for Jackson is set at about £80 million, though observers suggest the fee could fall as the deadline nears.
• Newcastle’s simultaneous pursuit of Brentford’s Yoane Wissa is hampered by a reported £60 million price tag and could constrain their Jackson bid.
