Nicolas Jackson News: Out in friendly

Jackson (transfer) was left out of the squad for Friday's friendly clash with Leverkusen.

Jackson has been in talks with a rumored move to Newcastle with eyes on replacing the unsettled Alexander Isak. Jackson has a productive first two seasons with Chelsea, scoring double-digit goals in both and adding 10 assists across the two campaigns. The club decided to look elsewhere for attackers and brought in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, leaving little chance for Jackson to play even if he surprisingly remains in London.
