Manchester United and Aston Villa are reportedly one of the clubs who have a rather serious interest in the potential signature of Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson.
According to Simon Phillips, Senegal International could be available this summer and has emerged as a surprise option for Chelsea rivalsman UTD.
However, the report emphasizes that Bruce is not actively trying to kick Jackson out, but he doesn’t seem to want to leave.
However, Jackson could be available at a reasonable price, which appears to have sparked interest from some big clubs.
Phillips names United, Villa, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan as having rather serious interest in Jackson.
How long does Chelsea sell Nicholas Jackson?
Jackson showed some promises when he first moved to Stamford Bridge, but since then he hasn’t developed much.
The 23-year-old may still blossom towards the centre, but it’s not too surprising that CFC is being offered to him.
Although it has not been confirmed yet, Liam Delap will join Chelsea from Ipswichtown this summer, as reported by BBC Sport and others.
Is Nicholas Jackson enough for Manchester United?
Jackson doesn’t always look like what Man United needs right now. Because they already have two young form out-forwards for Joshua Zirksey and Rasmus Hozilund.
The Red Devils may be able to make the most of Jackson, but it’s a bit of a gamble and certainly need more proven goalscorers to help them bounce back after the poor season of the 2024/25 season.
The villas could be on the right level for Jackson, and generally have less pressure at the Villa Park than one of the more established Big Six Sides.
