Chelsea have been told by Nicolas Jackson that he wants to leave the club and the Blues have eased up on their original valuation of the Senegal striker, who is being linked with Newcastle

The Senegal international striker has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge since the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer. Jackson has been linked with a number of clubs, but is said to prefer remaining in the Premier League, so that narrows down his possible destinations.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has offered an update on Nicolas Jackson's future amid reported interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies are continuing to be linked with several potential new strikers after missing out on signing RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko.
