According to the Telegraph, Newcastle is considering turning its target to Jackson after withdrawing from the competition in Sesco.

Chelsea forward Jackson became the target of Newcastle's serious consideration due to possible defeat in the bid for Cesco. There are reports that Cesco tends to join Manchester United. Although it has not been completely confirmed, it is understood that Newcastle coach Eddie Howe has other forward signing candidates, and Jackson ranks among the top on this target list.

After spending £90 million to introduce Drapp and Joao Pedro, Chelsea is willing to sell Jackson this summer, and Jackson's transfer fee will refer to the transfer fee of other strikers this summer. Newcastle tried to introduce Joao Pedro, but the player eventually joined Chelsea for 60 million pounds, and Cesco's transfer fee for joining Manchester United will exceed 65.2 million pounds.
