Chelsea: New rumor conflicts ongoing reports on Jackson

The transfer window continues to take on conflicting reports and this time, it emerges that Chelsea could be going back on their words in keeping Nicolas Jackson for the coming season.

According to the new rumors, the Blues could be capitalizing on a swap deal that would see Newcastle United star, Alexander Isak move over to Stamford Bridge while Nicolas Jackson changes colors for the Saint James’ Park.

Chelsea are exploring the possibility of including Nicolas Jackson in the deal to reduce the Magpies’ hefty £115 million asking price.

According to The Sun, Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, is keen on bringing Isak to Stamford Bridge. The Swedish international had an outstanding season, netting 25 goals in 40 appearances, with 21 of those coming in the Premier League.

Nicolas Jackson, who joined Chelsea from Villarreal, experienced a mixed debut season in London. Despite some inconsistencies, the Senegalese striker managed to score 17 goals and provide six assists across all competitions. However, it appears Chelsea are willing to part ways with Jackson if it means securing Isak’s services.

This of course conflicts the recent reports that the West London side have backed out of the deal for Isak and are contented with having Nicolas Jackson running the forward line for the 2024/25 season.
