Overview
- Multiple reports say Newcastle have strong interest in Liam Delap, with TEAMtalk-sourced coverage also linking Nicolas Jackson as an alternative option.
- Goal reports Newcastle are not aiming to sign both forwards, viewing the pair as competing targets for a new number nine.
- Delap has endured a difficult first season at Chelsea with one Premier League goal and a bit-part role, and talkSPORT notes the club would listen to offers.
- Jackson has seven goals in 26 games on loan at Bayern Munich, and TEAMtalk indicates he is prioritising regular starts even as a Bayern return remains possible.
- Eddie Howe previously praised Delap and Newcastle explored him last summer, as the club seeks upgrades after selling Alexander Isak and seeing Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa struggle, including being unused in the 7-2 loss at the Nou Camp.
