Aston Villa and Newcastle join the race for the injured Chelsea striker, as uncertainty looms over their own star forwards.
Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson has emerged as a top summer target for La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, but the Spanish side could face stiff competition from Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Newcastle. The 22-year-old striker, currently sidelined with an injury, has impressed this season with nine Premier League goals, catching the attention of several European clubs.
According to The Sun, Atletico Madrid have long admired Jackson and are preparing an ambitious move to bring him to Spain. However, their plans could be complicated by interest from Aston Villa and Newcastle, both of whom are reportedly keeping a close eye on the Senegalese forward.
Aston Villa’s interest comes amid growing concerns over the future of their star striker, Ollie Watkins. The England international has been linked with a move to Arsenal, leaving Villa to explore potential replacements. Similarly, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak could be on the move if the club fails to secure Champions League football, prompting the Magpies to scout alternatives.
Jackson’s versatility and goal-scoring ability make him an attractive option for all three clubs. While Atletico Madrid may currently lead the race, the involvement of Premier League sides could spark a bidding war. Earlier this month, The Sun also revealed that Newcastle are monitoring Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert as part of their contingency planning, highlighting the competitive nature of the upcoming transfer window.
As the summer approaches, the battle for Nicolas Jackson’s signature is set to intensify, with Atletico Madrid, Aston Villa, and Newcastle all vying to bolster their attacking options. For Jackson, the next chapter of his career could see him make a significant move—either abroad or within the Premier League.
