The Magpies are circling Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson while Forest hunt for Anderson's replacement.
Newcastle United have set their sights on Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson as Eddie Howe looks to bolster his attacking options in the January transfer window. The Senegalese striker, who has shown flashes of brilliance at Stamford Bridge, represents the kind of dynamic forward the Magpies believe could elevate their Premier League campaign.
Jackson's journey from Villarreal to Chelsea has been closely watched across Africa, with the 22-year-old becoming a key figure for Senegal's national team. His pace, work rate, and finishing ability have caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, but Newcastle's interest signals their commitment to competing at the highest level.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are actively pursuing Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney as they prepare for life without Elliot Anderson. The England youth international has impressed in the Championship and could provide the creativity Forest need to maintain their top-flight status.
In other developments, Chelsea are reportedly considering a sensational reunion with former manager Antonio Conte. The Italian tactician, who previously guided the Blues to Premier League glory, remains one of Europe's most respected coaches and could provide the stability Chelsea desperately need.
