According to Douglas, the Blues are looking for \u00a380 million to agree to sell the attacker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/07\/28\/emerging-genius-chelsea-transfer-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">The Emerging Genius of Chelsea&#8217;s Transfer Strategy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Magpies are hoping to drop this down to about \u00a365 million but either figure and anything in between them would represent a big profit for Chelsea who paid in the region of<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">\u00a0around<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2023\/jun\/25\/chelsea-complete-signing-of-villarreal-striker-nicolas-jackson-for-32m\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0\u00a332 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Would Newcastle Want Jackson<\/h3>\n<p>Despite some criticisms levelled his way, the striker is a handful for any defence. He presses hard and has on-ball abilities to dribble and pass when he has to. For someone who still has very little senior football experience to his name his skillset is varied and ready to be sharpened with patience and trust. He has only turned 24, meaning he still has many years to refine his game in England&#8217;s top division.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/07\/25\/best-chelsea-players-number-23-jersey\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Best Chelsea Players to Wear the Number 23 Jersey Ever<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He also guarantees some goals which Newcastle can use after seeing Hugo Ekitike go to Liverpool over them.
