Newcastle United are back in the business. They are in search of forwards in the transfer market. A famous player is in their radar. According to reports, the Magpies are interested in Nicolas Jackson**.** They can add him only if his time at Stamford Bridge comes to an end. The Senegalese striker’s case is uncertain. So far, he has scored 7 goals in 26 games. Eddie Howe will take the advantage. He will try to add him in Newcastle’s squad.
Nicolas Jackson’s uncertain future at Chelsea amidst Newcastle rumours
Jackson has accepted the new challenge in his career. The Chelsea man joined Bayern Munich on loan as he had to prove himself. The move didn’t clarify his things and it has left his immediate future unstable. Reports say that Nicolas is fighting hard to play for Bayern on a permanent basis.
Nicolas has been unable to convince Vincent Kompany. He is not the first pick for the Bayern manager. The forward will be set for a return to Chelsea in the summer. The report said that he is not one of Vincent Kompany’s favourites. So, Jackson will be back from loan to Chelsea most probably.
Newcastle’s recruitment team is once again going through the market. They have started to monitor strikers in every top team. The club wants to keep their options open. So, if negotiation with any one falls, then can switch to start to talk with other player camps.
Newcastle are shaping their attacking plans for next season
Huge change has occurred in Newcastle’s forward line. When Alexander Isak came to Liverpool, Newcastle acted fast enough to sign Nick Woltemade**.** Since arriving, the German striker netted 11 goals. The club will find a more experienced striker who has spent his life in the English league.
Newcastle wants him for a purpose as they have admired him for a long time**.** Therefore they are having a long-term interest. Magpies will negotiate according to their finances. The club knows about the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). So, they can only bid when the price is low.
Magpies are reportedly hoping Chelsea to drop their £70 million valuation. The asking price will determine whether the Tyne club can go for him or not.
Transfer market business could aid Newcastle in squad planning
This huge striker market strengthens Newcastle’s position. Aston Villa can give a competition for his signature. But now, the scenario can be different. The report states that transfer of Tammy Abhraham to Aston Villa will help them. Now, the process for getting the Chelsea striker will become easy.
This explains that there could be no competitive bidding. As a result, Chelsea will be unable to increase their price. The West London club cannot start an auction after Villa’s exit from the race. The Blues bought Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal for £32 million.
If Newcastle fails to land Jackson, they will shift their attention to other players. Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins is also an option for them. Nicolas Jackson is known for his speed and pressing. Eddie How would definitely appreciate these in his striker.
Newcastle will be deciding on which player to pursue in the upcoming days**.** They will surely be buying new forwards to strengthen their attack. The club was not involved in transfer business this January. After their Saudi takeover, Newcastle have not spent much except for some players.
Author’s Insight
Nicolas Jackson’s loan move to Bayern clears one thing that the striker has no future in London. It is very likely that Newcastle may cash in for the Senegalese if they plan so**.** Both the club’s are monitoring his footballing performances in Germany. If this transfer happens, Chelsea will earn a huge profit which will help them to manage their financial regulations.
