“Chelsea are expecting” – Sky Sports reporter shares interesting update on Nicolas Jackson | OneFootball

The future of Nicolas Jackson will be resolved when it becomes clear if Alexander Isak is staying at Newcastle or not according to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol.

Jackson is expected to leave Chelsea before the end of the window, and he’s dropped down the pecking order following the arrival of both Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer.

The 24-year-old wasn’t part of the squad for either of the pre-season games against Bayer Leverkusen or AC Milan, and it seems unlikely he’ll be involved on Friday night against West Ham.

Nicolas Jackson attracting interest from up to six clubs

Chelsea reportedly value Jackson at £80m, but clubs are said to believe that price can be negotiated down, whilst it’s hard to see the Blues being able to get that fee.

Aston Villa are reportedly pushing hard to sign Jackson, but despite interest from several clubs no official offers have come in, and Solhekol has provided an update.

He took to X.com and said:

“Nicolas Jackson’s future set to be resolved when it becomes clear whether Alexander Isak is staying at or leaving Newcastle United.

“There are up to six clubs interested in signing Jackson at the moment. Chelsea are expecting significant bids when there is more clarity about Isak’s future.

Chelsea set for a busy end to the window

Jackson and Christopher Nkunku are the two major sales Chelsea are looking to make before the end of the window.

Chelsea are now said to be open to a loan move for Jackson if the conditions are right, which may suit Italian clubs AC Milan and Juventus better.

However, it’s the opposite for Nkunku, with both Chelsea and the player wanting a permanent transfer, and there’s said to be interest from RB Leipzig and Inter Milan, whilst Bayern Munich can reportedly only do a loan deal.
