Chelsea slash Nicolas Jackson price after transfer request

The Senegal international, who has been linked with Newcastle United, has made his desire to move clear.

The Blues are now prepared to accept a fee in the region of £50 million, a reduction from their original valuation, signalling their willingness to facilitate the transfer.

This move comes as Chelsea look to manage their squad and respond to the player's wishes.

Jackson's potential exit would mark a notable change for the team's attacking options, but the club appears keen to accommodate his ambitions rather than hold firm on a higher price.

With interest from Newcastle and possibly other clubs, negotiations are expected to progress swiftly in the coming days
