He is committed to making a strong impression during pre-season to secure his role in the team&#8217;s plans.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_120836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-120836\"

in a \u00a3117 million deal, with ongoing negotiations aimed at exploring additional transfer avenues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Jackson and Liam Delap are seeking more clarity
