Newcastle United are looking for a new striker this summer after retreating to pursue Benjamin Sesco.
RB Leipzig striker was a major target for Newcastle this summer, but Manchester United ruined their transfer plans by turning the head of the attackers ready to move to Old Trafford.
Eddie Howe and his recruiting team now have no choice but to change their transfer plans. That’s exactly what they did.
Signing the striker is important not only because of the Magpies’ loss at Sesco, but also because Alexander Isaac faces an uncertain future as Liverpool continues to pursue the Swedish international star.
Newcastle United wants Chelsea star Nicholas Jackson
To address the above issues, Newcastle United focused on signing Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson.
According to TeamTalk, the Chelsea star has been accepting a move to St. James Park as he is looking for more playing time this summer.
Enzo Maresca reshuffled the attack after strikers Joa Pedro and Liam Dellup arrived.
As far as Jackson’s future is concerned, the blues boss has made it clear that “anything can happen” and has opened the door to finding movements elsewhere if he wants regular playtime.
Jackson accepts travel to St. James Park
The striker moved to Newcastle this summer and made his decision, according to the report, to get a fresh start in his career.
Bruce is set to demand £700 million from the 24-year-old attacker, and it is still unclear whether Howe’s team is happy with the asking price.
Along with Jackson, the report also mentions Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins as a player on the Magpie radar this summer.
