Newcastle United are stepping up efforts to strengthen their attack, with Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson emerging as a key transfer target.
The Magpies are in urgent need of new firepower following the departure of Callum Wilson and transfer demands from Alexander Isak.
According to The Sun, Newcastle have now registered interest in Jackson and are prepared to open talks with Chelsea, depending on the Blues' stance.
While Newcastle are already pursuing Brentford striker Yoane Wissa with a £25 million offer, Jackson is viewed as a strong alternative.
The 23-year-old Senegal international has already rejected offers from Napoli and AC Milan this summer, expressing a clear preference to continue playing in the Premier League.
Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins is also on Newcastle’s shortlist, though he may prove a more expensive option.
Jackson joined Chelsea last year from Villarreal and scored 14 goals in all competitions in his debut season. Despite his mixed form, his pace and physical presence have caught the attention of several clubs.
With the new Premier League season fast approaching, Newcastle are pushing to finalise their striker signings quickly.
