Atletico Madrid are planning an ambitious move this summer for Nicolas Jackson, but could face competition from two Premier League clubs.
The Chelsea striker, who is currently out injured, has had a fine season, scoring nine Premier League goals so far. However, there are still doubts as to whether he has the quality to lead Chelsea to the top of the table, which remains the West London club's main objective.
Aston Villa are aware that they will have a battle to keep Ollie Watkins this summer, with Arsenal interested in reviving their pursuit of him. Meanwhile, Alexander Isak could leave St James' Park if Eddie Howe fails to qualify Newcastle for the Champions League.
Earlier this month, SunSport reported that Newcastle are monitoring potential replacements. Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert is one of the names on their radar. They have been closely monitoring the Bournemouth striker this season and believe they can persuade him to follow in the footsteps of his father, Patrick Kluivert, who was well-liked on Tyneside.
But Jackson, who has already established himself as a prolific goalscorer in the Premier League, is also an attractive option for Newcastle, and the club are monitoring his situation closely. Chelsea have been linked with a number of strikers in the transfer market and if they decide to sign a No.9 this summer, Jackson could be pushed towards a move. Atletico Madrid have long admired the striker and would be at the top of their waiting list if he becomes available.
