Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is looking to leave the club after the signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. He has expressed his desire to explore new opportunities, with Newcastle and Aston Villa potentially interested in acquiring him. Given financial factors, a move within England is considered probable.
Nicolas Jackson, the Chelsea striker, has reportedly expressed his desire to leave the club during the summer transfer window. According to The Daily Mail, the Senegal international has officially informed Chelsea of his interest in exploring new opportunities. This decision comes after Chelsea's acquisition of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, both Conference League winners, earlier in the summer.
Graeme Bailey, a journalist, elaborated on the situation via TBR, stating that Jackson's representatives have communicated his intentions to Chelsea, indicating he's considering a move this month. The arrival of Liam Delap initially raised concerns for Jackson, and the subsequent signing of Joao Pedro has only exacerbated the situation.
Jackson is now evaluating his options, with Newcastle and Aston Villa emerging as potential destinations. Bailey noted that Jackson holds Unai Emery, Villa's manager, in high regard. Given the financial implications, a move within England is deemed likely for the forward.
