Chelsea is willing to offer Nicolas Jackson as part of a deal to sign Newcastle United's Alexander Isak, valued at £115 million. The Blues are eager to strengthen their squad and are exploring options to reduce the asking price.
According to The Sun, Chelsea has already contacted Newcastle to express their interest in Isak, who has impressed with his form for the Magpies. The Sweden international has become a key player for Newcastle, and manager Eddie Howe is reluctant to let him go.
Jackson, who scored 17 goals for Chelsea last season, is highly valued by the club but could be included in the deal to secure Isak's signature. Despite being contracted until 2031, Jackson's future at Chelsea is uncertain.
Newcastle, however, is unwilling to sell Isak, and Howe would prefer to part ways with Callum Wilson instead. Chelsea has already made two signings, Tosin Adarabioyo and Omari Kellyman, and is determined to invest in their squad further.
The proposed deal highlights Chelsea's ambition to bolster their attack and willingness to negotiate to achieve their transfer goals.
