WHAT HAPPENED?
Isak has been trying to push for a move away from Newcastle United this summer amid massive interest from Premier League champions Liverpool. While the Magpies are not very keen on losing their star striker, they are bracing for the departure and have shown interest in the likes of Yoane Wissa, Ollie Watkins and Samu Aghehowa. It is said that the Chelsea talisman is their major option to replace Isak; however, iNews has reported that the Magpies are still yet to decide if they want to move for the Senegalese striker.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Newcastle have also been pushing for a move for Brentford star Yoane Wissa; however, iNews also reported that the Magpies view the Congolese forward as a replacement for Callum Wilson, who departed the club earlier this summer. They are considering pushing for another striker this summer, given that Isak does indeed end up leaving St. James' Park.

TELL ME MORE…
Jackson was the starting No. 9 last season for Chelsea; however, the Blues have been splashing the cash this summer and have signed Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, both of whom have impressed Enzo Maresca. As such, Jackson has fallen down the pecking order, and the West London side are now looking to gain back funds by selling the Senegalese striker.

WHAT NEXT FOR JACKSON?
It is highly likely that Jackson will end up leaving Chelsea this summer amid the increase in competition for his spot. However, it will wholly depend on whether Newcastle make a solid offer for the £80 million-rated striker. It is also believed that the Blues will be open to retaining the services of Jackson if he cannot secure a move away from Stamford Bridge.
