Jackson, who was absent from Chelsea's recent preseason friendly against Bayer Leverkusen, has been linked with a move to Newcastle United. The player's exclusion from the match has been seen as a signal that he may be on his way out.
Similar to Jackson, Nkunku also missed the Bayer Leverkusen game and is now in a position to depart from the club. His absence from the match has led to speculation that he may be leaving Chelsea.
Newcastle's interest in Jackson is believed to have increased after the club's top target, Benjamin Sesko, chose to join Manchester United earlier this week.
