Overview

  • Jackson has informed Chelsea he wants to join Newcastle United and has attracted interest from manager Eddie Howe, who views him as an exciting option.
  • Any bid for Jackson is conditional on Alexander Isak securing his own departure from Newcastle, a scenario that remains unresolved.
  • Chelsea are seeking roughly £80m–100m for Jackson, about double their 2023 outlay, which has deterred serious offers.
  • The summer arrivals of Liam Delap and João Pedro have pushed Jackson down the pecking order and made him surplus to requirements.
  • Should no transfer materialise by September 1, Chelsea intend to reintegrate Jackson into the first team and give him a chance to compete for minutes.
