Premier League betting tips: Will Nicolas Jackson leave Chelsea? FC Bayern and Newcastle United favourites
With the transfer window in full swing, Chelsea have once again been one of the busiest clubs in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca has recruited hard, having completely reinvented the Blues’ frontline with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
The West Londoners have also brought a host of youngsters to Stamford Bridge, including Jorrel Hato from Ajax and Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund.
Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho is expected to join the FIFA Club World Cup champions this summer, too, although a deal is yet to be struck.
Chelsea have made several huge sales, notably Noni Madueke, who was sold to Arsenal, and Everton new boy, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
However, the Blues have not yet finished their summer clearout, with centre forward Nicolas Jackson reportedly set to leave SW6.
With Chelsea ready to cash in on the Senegalese international, so should you, as Transfer News Blitz’s Edward Moss provides the latest betting tips on Jackson’s next destination.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United need a striker, especially as wantaway star Alexander Isak will reportedly not play for the club again.
Beaten to Benjamin Sesko by Manchester United and rejected by Chelsea’s new signing, Pedro, the Magpies have not had much luck this summer.
With a decent track record in the Premier League, Eddie Howe could now shift his attention to Jackson.
Brentford forward Yoane Wissa is understood to be nearing a move to St. James’ Park, but if Isak leaves, it would not be a surprise to see Newcastle move for Jackson.

Stay at Chelsea
There is, of course, every chance the Senegalese forward will stay and fight for his spot at Stamford Bridge.
It is not a guarantee that Delap and Pedro will hit the ground running at Chelsea, and with 15 Premier League goal involvements last term, Maresca could turn back to Jackson.
However, with the Blues keen to get Garnacho and Xavi Simons through the door, Jackson will likely be sold to raise funds.
BEST ODDS: 4/1 (bet365)
FC Bayern
Bundesliga champions FC Bayern have reportedly made enquiries for the 24-year-old this summer, as per Florian Plettemberg, which makes the Bavarians strong contenders.
That being said, it is unknown whether Jackson would be willing to play second fiddle to England captain Harry Kane.
Understood to be valued at just under £60million, Vincent Kompany’s side could be priced out of a move, having already signed Liverpool’s Luis Diaz for a similar fee.
While still a possibility, Bayern Munich certainly feels like a viable destination away from the Premier League.
BEST ODDS: 10/1 (bet365)
Juventus
Juventus are another European powerhouse linked with Jackson this summer.
Although with Dusan Vlahovic and Jonathan David already at the club, Igor Tudor is spoilt for choice up front.
However, the Croatian is reportedly ready to let Vlahovic leave the Allianz Stadium, which would see Jackson slot in nicely.
Will we see Jackson make the Old Lady sing? I think there is certainly an outside chance that could happen.

Aston Villa
With Ollie Watkins' future still fairly uncertain, Aston Villa are thought to be monitoring Jackson’s situation at Chelsea.
Of course, Villans boss Unai Emery has previously worked with the Senegalese striker at LaLiga outfit Villarreal.
Could the pair now be set to reunite at Villa Park?
There would be a lot of moving parts to any deal between Chelsea and Villa, with the Midlands club likely having to sell first.
