WHAT HAPPENED?
Jackson wants to leave Chelsea this summer in a bid to get more game time, following the arrivals of Pedro and Delap at Stamford Bridge earlier in the transfer window. The Senegal international is reportedly keen on a move to Newcastle United if they sell their star forward, Alexander Isak to Liverpool.
GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
According to The Daily Mail, the Blues are in no hurry to offload their out-of-favour striker Jackson in this window. Chelsea have a set squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and are not planning to buy another forward, even if Jackson decides to move out. The 24-year-old forward was kept away from the club's matchday squads during the pre-season friendlies against AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen last week, as he trained alone at Cobham. Although Jackson was not part of the team's 'bomb squad' featuring stars like Raheem Sterling, Renato Veiga, Carney Chukwuemeka, Alfie Gilchrist, David Datro Fofana and others.

The Daily Mail got in touch with the CIES Football Observatory based in Switzerland to get a scientific transfer algorithm, which revealed that Jackson is valued at €85 million (£73.3m/$99m).
