“Villa and United feel” – Ben Jacobs shares update on the future of Nicolas Jackson | OneFootball

Aston Villa and Manchester United won’t move for Nicolas Jackson at the moment because of the price according to Ben Jacobs.

Jackson has seen his future at Chelsea questioned following the arrival of both Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer.

Pedro in particular has made an instant impact with three goals in three games at the Club World Cup, and Jackson now faces competition for his place for the first time in his Chelsea career.

Ben Jacobs on Nicolas Jackson future

Jackson had a poor tournament in which he failed to score, was sent off against Flamengo, and was an unused substitute in the final.

Speculation about his future has continued, and the 24-year-old has been linked with AC Milan, but any deal is deemed too expensive for the Italian giants.

There’s interest from the Premier League, with Aston Villa and United both admirers of the Senegal international, but no official offers have been made yet, and Jacobs has explained why.

“Villa and United feel they won’t move on Jackson at the moment because the price is so high,” he told Chelsea content creator Alex Goldberg on Playback.

“Chelsea are happy with Jackson and their other two strikers. Maresca also likes Jackson.”

It’s been reported Jackson is expected to be a Chelsea player come the end of the transfer window, but in football you can never be certain.

The Blues are thought to believe Jackson can become a potential £100m striker, but if he remains they will be looking for an improvement on the ten league goals he scored last season.

Chelsea not working on a deal for Isak

The Blues have already signed two strikers this summer, but that didn’t stop them being linked with Alexander Isak after he informed Newcastle on Thursday he wanted to leave the club.

Chelsea have previously been linked with Isak, who scored 23 league goals last season, and is one of the best strikers in the world.

However, the Blues aren’t thought to be actively working on a deal for the 25-year-old, whilst another striker coming in is almost solely dependant on Jackson leaving.
