According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Chelsea forward Nicholas Jackson’s future could make unexpected turns this summer, and the club has been informed that it could potentially be able to sign loans with obligations to buy under certain conditions.
This summer, after signing by Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, Jackson has surplus on the club’s requirements.
The Premier League giants are trying to offload their attackers this summer. Many clubs in England and Italy have expressed interest in signing players, but nothing has come to fruition so far.
The proposed structure includes a loan fee of £10 million and could ease the financial burden on the club of interest before committing to a permanent transfer.
Chelsea set a high asking price for Nicholas Jackson
Bruce initially set the 24-year-old striker a £80 million rating, but Jacobs reports that more clubs can race if the figure falls below £70 million.
Currently, Aston Villa has emerged as a serious candidate among the clubs monitoring the situation. Unai Emery previously worked with Jackson at Villarreal and hopes to bring the striker to Villa Park to add depth to his offensive options.
Jackson aims to compete with Olly Watkins at the starting lineup location.
No other locations can rule out Newcastle United. They face their own problems with Alexander Isaac, who wants to leave the club this summer for a move to Liverpool. The player went to the striker and forced the move to Anfield, and the Magpie saw Jackson as one of the alternative options in the market.
AC Milan joins English club in the race to sign Jackson
Meanwhile, AC Milan has also expressed interest, focusing on development while continuing to rebuild the team.
Jackson himself remains a player with great potential. His time in the UK may not have been successful, but the attackers show promises for a bright future, and under the right environment and coaching, he is able to fulfill his potential.
Whether it’s Aston Villa, Newcastle, Milan, or another late participant, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Jackson’s future is far from Chelsea.
