Sky: Newcastle considers introducing Jackson, provided it determines the future of Isaac

August 10th Sky Sports reported that Newcastle will wait for Isaac's future to be determined before deciding whether to introduce Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson.

He is currently not training with Eddie Howe's side and is not expected to appear in Saturday's Premier League opener against Aston Villa, as Liverpool reportedly rejected a £110 million offer for Isaac. The club missed the opportunity to sign forward Cesco, who had transferred from Red Bull Leipzig to Manchester United on Saturday. However, this provides a possible solution to the current deadlock after Chelsea told them on Friday that they were willing to sell Jackson. Jackson, 24, scored 10 goals in the Premier League last season, but between December and May of this year, he experienced a five-month downturn in the league. He trained alone on Friday. Jackson failed to make the roster in a friendly against Leverkusen, and the same was true for today's match against AC Milan. With Drapp and Brighton's Joao Pedro joining, his position at Stamford Bridge further declined, and it felt like his development had stalled.
