Nicolas Jackson has told Chelsea<\/a> that he wants to leave amid interest from Newcastle, with the Senegal forward having missed the friendly with Bayer Leverkusen on Friday night. Jackson has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge after the arrivals of Liam Delap and Jo\u00e3o Pedro, with Eddie Howe\u2019s side believed to be frontrunners to sign the 24-year-old. He is understood to have trained alone on Friday after informing Chelsea that he would like a move away from west London, with Milan having also been linked with the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n

Chelsea had valued him at \u00a380m but are likely to accept a reduced fee of around \u00a365m as they attempt to reshape their attacking options by signing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig and Manchester United\u2019s Alejandro Garnacho.<\/p>\n

Newcastle are thought to be favourites to sign the player who joined from Villarreal in 2023 for \u00a332m and also want to bring in Brentford\u2019s Yoane Wissa after missing out on Benjamin Sesko<\/a>, who is set to join Manchester United. Wissa was left out of Brentford\u2019s squad for their friendly against Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach on Friday having informed them that he wants to leave, although Newcastle have yet to agree a fee for the DR Congo forward.<\/p>\n

Howe is keen to reinforce his front line after Callum Wilson left on a free while Alexander Isak is likely to move to Liverpool if Newcastle can agree a fee with the champions.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Enzo Maresca said that Jackson, who signed a nine-year contract in September 2024, could leave Chelsea this month. \u201cWhen the transfer window is open, unfortunately or fortunately, anything can happen,\u201d he said. \u201cThis also involves Nico\u2019s situation. At the moment we also had two strikers arrive, Jo\u00e3o and Liam. So we will see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chelsea have opened talks with United over Garnacho having already agreed personal terms with the 21-year-old but it is understood that they are reluctant to pay his \u00a350m valuation.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are also hopeful of concluding negotiations with Leipzig over Simons, the Netherlands forward who is understood to have agreed personal terms despite interest from Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
