Newcastle United are preparing for life without their star striker by setting sights on Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Though the Magpies remain hopeful of keeping Alexander Isak, growing interest from Liverpool has cast doubt over his future. The Swedish forward is believed to be open to a move, and Newcastle are now weighing their options should a departure become unavoidable.
Among the names on their list, Jackson stands out. The Senegalese attacker had a mixed debut season at Stamford Bridge but showed enough promise to attract serious attention.
While Chelsea do not consider Jackson unsellable, any deal would likely come at a steep cost. The Blues would only part ways with him if the price is right.
Jackson has also drawn interest from Saudi clubs, adding another twist to the transfer battle.
Newcastle’s recruitment team continues to monitor the situation closely, determined not to be caught unprepared. With weeks remaining in the window, all eyes remain on Isak.
