Jackson s team is evaluating Newcastle and other options; Chelsea will not sign a replacement if they leave the team

Hupu, August 14th, a famous reporter from the Daily Mail, wrote the Chelsea Weekly.

If 24-year-old striker Nicholas Jackson transfers as expected this month, Chelsea is unlikely to find a replacement, and the Blues think they already have enough insiders.

The Daily Mail disclosed last week that Jackson had told the club that he wanted to consider the possibility of leaving, so Chelsea is working on Jackson's departure.

For this reason, he was excluded from Enzo Maresca's friendly roster against Leverkusen and AC Milan.

That weekend, Jackson conducted personal training at Cobham, but one person who has been on the training ground since told us that they did not see him training with the "bomb squad" including Raheem Sterling, Renato Vega, Kaney Chukvimeka, Alfie Gilchrist, David Datro Fofane and others. Sources from the Jackson camp told us there is no specific latest news yet as they are still considering options, one of which is Newcastle United, as they are in the midst of the Alexander-Isaac crisis.

Chelsea insiders insist that if Jackson tells them he wants to stay, they would be happy to have him compete with Liam Delapp and Joao Pedro for the forward position in the upcoming season.

But the Daily Mail also learned that the club has not yet considered signing a replacement if Jackson eventually leaves.

In this way, by the 2025-26 season, Maresca will only have two senior strikers left. Fans should still remember that this problem became a problem when Jackson and Mark Giu encountered an accidental injury crisis in the 2024-25 season.
