Chelsea Striker Jackson Deemed Surplus as Tottenham, Newcastle Circle
8 Aug
Summary
- Chelsea ready to sell striker Jackson
- Tottenham and Newcastle interested in signing Jackson
- Jackson suspended for first Premier League game of the season
As of August 8th, 2025, Chelsea striker Jackson has been deemed surplus to requirements by the club, with Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United both registering an interest in the Senegal forward.
Tottenham are known to be fans of Jackson, but they would only consider a move should their Brazilian striker Richarlison leave the club this summer. Richarlison, who struggled with injuries and form last season, has rejected interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Newcastle are also interested in Jackson as they identify potential replacements for Alexander Isak, who is heavily linked with a move to Liverpool. The Magpies have had a frustrating summer, missing out on a number of key targets, but are continuing to push for a deal for Yoane Wissa.
The 23-year-old Jackson scored 10 Premier League goals last season but has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea following the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. Chelsea are now prepared to part with Jackson as they look to sanction departures following another busy summer of spending, having already sold several first-team players.
Jackson is suspended for the first game of the Premier League season, having been sent off for violent conduct against Newcastle in a recent match.
