Chelsea Set £65m Price for Nicolas Jackson Amid Spurs Interest
Chelsea are willing to sell Nicolas Jackson this summer if a club meets their £65m valuation, with Tottenham the latest side credited with interest in the Senegal international. No formal approach has been made.
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are considering a move for Jackson as they look to strengthen their attack. The report cites the Daily Mail, which says Spurs have the 25-year-old under consideration. There has been no formal approach to open club-to-club talks, so the situation remains at the interest stage.
Chelsea are understood to want £65m if they sell Jackson this summer. With six strikers now on the books following Danny Welbeck’s arrival, the report says Jackson is a player Chelsea are happy to offload if the fee is right.
Jackson’s Chelsea situation
Jackson spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich, where he was largely on the bench. The Daily Mail also reports that he is willing to leave if he joins a club where he will play more frequently.
Chelsea’s forward options have become more crowded following Welbeck’s arrival.
Tottenham’s interest comes as the club pursue additions in the final third. Fabrizio Romano has said Spurs have personal terms agreed with Manchester City’s Savinho, their leading target for the right wing, although the clubs remain apart on a fee. Tottenham are also interested in Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, but TEAMtalk reports that Liverpool do not want to sell him this summer.
What happens next
For now, Tottenham’s reported interest has not developed into a formal club-to-club approach. Until Tottenham or another club makes an offer, a move remains uncertain.
Chelsea’s reported position is that they are open to selling Jackson if their £65m valuation is met.
