Report: Newcastle United ready to join the race for Chelsea star Newcastle United Transfer News: Nicolas Jackson Emerges as Summer Target Newcastle United are preparing for a decisive summer window, with fresh reports from talkSPORT indicating a growing interest in Nicolas Jackson . The Chelsea forward is set to return to Stamford Bridge following Bayern Munich’s decision not to pursue a permanent deal. Bayern’s director of sport, Max Eberl , confirmed the stance, stating: “We will not trigger the option for Nicolas Jackson.
” That clarity has opened the door for other clubs, with Newcastle now closely monitoring the situation. Attacking struggles prompt recruitment rethink Eddie Howe’s side have faced persistent issues in the final third this season. Summer arrivals Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa have failed to deliver consistently, combining for just eight Premier League goals.
Woltemade has accounted for seven of those, highlighting the imbalance in output. As a result, Howe has turned increasingly to Will Osula , whose recent run of starts has yielded two goals in three matches. While promising, reliance on a 20-year-old underlines the need for a more established attacking presence heading into next season.

The Senegal international combines pace, movement, and directness, traits that would suit Newcastle’s transitional style under Howe. However, context matters.
