Newcastle United are being linked with a move for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson, with speculation growing over the Senegal and Gambia international’s long-term future.
Transfermarkt data lists Jackson’s market value at €40.00m and notes a possible switch from Chelsea to Newcastle dated 26 April 2026, though the reported probability of the transfer is marked only as “?”, underlining that any deal remains at the rumour stage.
Jackson, a right-footed centre-forward born in Banjul on 20 June 2001, is 24 and has represented both Senegal and The Gambia at international level. Standing at 1.87m, he is viewed as a physically robust attacking option capable of leading the line, a profile that would fit Newcastle’s need for depth and competition in the forward areas.
The player is currently listed with Bayern Munich as his club side and wears the number 11 shirt, but the latest transfer rumour specifically links him with a move from Premier League side Chelsea to St James’ Park. No contract expiry date is recorded in the data, leaving open the possibility that future negotiations elsewhere could involve him running down a deal or potentially moving as a free agent at a later stage, though there is no confirmation of that scenario at present.
Jackson’s blend of mobility and height has previously attracted interest across Europe, and his valuation reflects his status as a developing attacker entering what should be the prime years of his career.
With no fee agreed, no contract details disclosed and the probability of the move still unclear, this remains one to watch rather than an imminent transfer. Should a switch to Newcastle eventually materialise, it could prove a pivotal step in shaping Jackson’s reputation as a leading centre-forward in the Premier League.
