How did we end up here. Newcastle's transfer market is in crisis.
The British Telegraph reported on the 6th (Korea time) 'Newcastle is considering Nicholas Jackson after missing Benjamin Seschko'
The Telegraph seriously considers Chelsea striker Jackson as Newcastle nears defeat in Seschko bid race. Seschko is preferring a move to Manchester United. Coach Eddie Howe said he appears to be looking for other strikers, and Jackson is in a high position.

Newcastle's transfer market this summer is tough. This was not the case until he had Park Seung-soo, one of Korea's top prospects. Newcastle initially succeeded in recruiting Park Seung-soo, who received attention from various European clubs, adding to the team's future. In addition, Antony Elanga also raised expectations.
However, all additional recruitment was canceled. James Trafford, who had initially emerged as a candidate for the goalkeeper, returned to Manchester City, where he was a youngster. Center backs Marc Guehi and Usman Diomande were also mentioned, but no recruitment has been made. The same goes for the midfielder.
The biggest problem is the offensive. All the players who actively recruited were lost to big clubs. The beginning was Liam Delap and João Pedru. Two good players at Ipswich Town and Brighton respectively, but both were lost to Chelsea. Subsequently, he also recruited Brian Mbomo, but the transfer was not completed as Mbomo insisted on being all the rage.
Since then, Newcastle's recruitment attitude has been active, but no results have been produced. He offered a large amount of money to Hugo Ekittike, who was playing in Frankfurt, but Liverpool dug into the rejection of the offer and secured the recruitment first.

Seschuko was the most ardent candidate in recent years. He competed with Manchester United for Seschuko, who is recognized for his high potential with the evaluation of 'the second holan'. However, Seschko's choice was Manchester United, not Newcastle, and Newcastle actually lost the competition, turning their heads to Jackson. It is humiliating for a club that boasts the best capital in the English Premier League with Saudi Arabian capital on its back.
Compared to the aforementioned resources, Jackson is not an attractive resource. Another problem is his poor goal-scoring ability on the England stage. However, Newcastle need to secure Jackson. Newcastle, which will play in the European Champions League next season, must strengthen its front line. Moreover, Aleksandar Isaac can go to Liverpool at the end of the transfer market, so it is urgent to secure the least resources at the front line.
Newcastle's plan to visit Korea and spend a full pre-season is hardly going as expected.
