Chelsea open transfer talks for £76m striker after Nicolas Jackson decision

Chelsea are reportedly willing to sell Nicolas Jackson this summer and could replace him with Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani, who impressed on loan at Juventus last season Chelsea have reportedly opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain over Randal Kolo Muani after it emerged that Nicolas Jackson could leave the club this summer. PSG spent £76million to sign Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, but he has struggled for regular game time. The 26-year-old has made just 23 starts for PSG in all competitions and was sent out on loan to Juventus in the January transfer window, where he netted eight goals in 16 Serie A appearances. ‌ Juventus are keen to keep Kolo Muani and he has remained with them for the Club World Cup, netting a brace in their 5-0 win over Al-Ain on Thursday, but L'Equipe are now reporting that Chelsea have 'entered into negotiations' for the forward. ‌ Chelsea have already signed one striker this summer, spending £30m to bring in Liam Delap from Ipswich, and remain keen on adding another goalscorer. News of their interest in Kolo Muani comes after reports from Italy claimed the Blues are considering selling Jackson. The striker has frustrated Chelsea fans at times during his two years at Stamford Bridge and it has been claimed that the Blues no longer consider him 'untouchable'. According to Gianlucadimarzio, both Juventus and Napoli are interested in Jackson. In his last four appearances for Chelsea, Jackson has been sent off against Newcastle, scored in the Europa Conference League final win, assisted Pedro Neto at the Club World Cup and been sent off against Flamengo. Jackson was shown a straight red card for a poor challenge on Flamengo's Lucas just four minutes after being introduced by Enzo Maresca. And former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel laid into Jackson over the incident while working as a pundit for DAZN. "Unbelievable. Stupid, stupid, stupid mistake," Mikel fumed. "I don't know what was going through his head. Your team needs you and he does that! He did that at Newcastle in an important game. ‌ "He got a red card. And now he's done this again. You can't keep making mistakes like this. I don't care what his frustration is. This is a massive football club and it's about competition. If you're angry or p****d off, then you have to embrace it. "We need competition. Jackson needs to have a word with himself, where do you want to go with your Chelsea career?"

'I told Declan Rice to join direct rival of Arsenal – he'd have a trophy by now'

Declan Rice has been an individual success since joining Arsenal in 2023, but he may well have had another major trophy by now had he heeded the advice of one former Premier League star The words of ex- Newcastle United midfielder Geremi from two years ago could feel like they are haunting Declan Rice. That's after the two-time Champions League -winner said he "should not hesitate" to join the Magpies, who have ended their trophy drought since Rice snubbed their advances. Rice, 26, won the Europa Conference League in his last act with West Ham. With the England star on his way out that summer, Newcastle were among those to have raised an interest in signing him. However, the midfielder ended up ignoring their advances in favour of a £105million transfer to the Emirates. ‌ The former Hammers captain wanted to join a club who would be competing consistently for silverware. But as fate would have it, Newcastle have since ended their 70-year search for a domestic trophy after winning the Carabao Cup in March. They got the better of Liverpool at Wembley to bring home a piece of silverware that was certainly a long time coming. ‌ Arsenal, on the other hand, are still waiting to lift their first trophy since Rice joined their ranks, having not won a major trophy since the FA Cup back in 2020. It briefly looked as though a haul of titles was on the cards this season, only for Mikel Arteta 's aspirations to come crashing down on multiple fronts over just a couple of weeks as they crashed out of the Champions League and saw their Premier League title hopes fade. The Gunners still finished above Eddie Howe's men in the Premier League after claiming a third straight runner-up finish. But Newcastle fans would gladly take fifth and a spot in next season's Champions League if it means getting their hands on a trophy too. Rice may wonder on some level what might have been, and the words of former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Geremi ring true. The Magpies came in for criticism due to their controversial takeover by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), but the club has quickly made strides to become a significant force in England's pecking order. "Newcastle is a great team that is going in the right direction," Geremi told Lord Ping in April 2023. "The fans are absolutely wonderful – they (Rice and Moussa Diaby, who went on to join Aston Villa from Bayer Leverkusen that summer) should not hesitate to join the club. "If any Newcastle targets need any advice, they shouldn't hesitate to call me!" ‌ While they may have missed out on Rice, Newcastle signed Italy international Sandro Tonali from AC Milan that same summer. And the 25-year-old has performed admirably in a very similar box-to-box capacity under Howe. The manager has also earned plaudits for reinventing former centre-forward Joelinton into a powerful midfield presence. Meanwhile, Bruno Guimaraes has written his name into Newcastle folklore for his performances as skipper. All in all, the northeast outfit may have very few regrets over missing out of Rice given the midfield corps they've built in his absence. Rice seems content in north London, too, though the absence of any silverware to show for his troubles will hurt. ‌ Rice was named Arsenal's Player of the Season for 2024/25 after impressing in his sophomore campaign. He was also named to both the Champions League Team of the Season and Premier League Fan Team of the Season. Yet those accolades will count for little should he fail to add any more team titles to his cabinet while with Arsenal. And the player can't say he wasn't told his needs would be served well in the northeast.

‘It raises a lot of complicated questions': Drogheda's US owner opens up on impact of European nightmare

United co-chairman admits internal confidence around navigating Uefa's ownership rules were 'misplaced' but resolves to fix 'bump in the road' It was late Monday morning in Birmingham, Alabama when Ben Boycott, the co-chairman of Drogheda United, learned the crushing news that the club's European campaign was over before it had started. He immediately booked a flight to Ireland and told his wife he was going to be away until the weekend. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) hearing that confirmed Drogheda's fate, by standing over Uefa's decision to expel them from the Europa Conference League, may have been a six-hour virtual affair with scratchy connectivity, but Boycott knew the fall-out needed to be handled face to face.
