Newcastle aims to solve Isak conundrum…
Newcastle’s quest for a new star striker after Alexander Isak’s flirtation with Liverpool can only be compared to a penguin searching for sunglasses in Antarctica. They’ve tried every dance move possible: they’ve been declined by Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike, and even Yoanne Wissa seems ready to chase gold in Saudi Arabia. Enter Nicolas Jackson, freshly squeezed out of Chelsea’s lemony squad. His allure hasn’t gone unnoticed, with Newcastle enticingly eyeing him. Fabrizio Romano, the football-loving oracle, typed via his podcast that Jackson and Chelsea are bidding adieu, with a starting price tag of 80 million pounds. Yet, the clubs interested in his talent are lined up more eagerly than kids for the latest video game release.
Nicolas Jackson, a man possibly wired by hyperactive squirrels, came into Chelsea’s picture for £32 million from Villarreal and went on a merry scoring spree with 24 goals, though he danced awkwardly behind an expected 30-goal conga line. While Bayern Munich and Tottenham gawk at him like tourists bewildered by a misreading map, Newcastle hopes to replace their lost muscle. Richarlison might wave goodbye to Tottenham, and with Mathys Tel’s permanent joyful union with them, Jackson’s chances with Newcastle brighten. As Bayern simmers on the backburner with Harry Kane now leading their bratwurst brigade, Newcastle seeks a spark after Callum Wilson’s departure. Enter Jackson, perhaps the Magpie’s ultimate missing feather.
