Africa-Press – Eritrea. Several Premier League clubs have made initial approaches for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, as interest in the Senegalese forward heats up ahead of the new season.
Sources close to negotiations confirm that AC Milan have ended talks for Jackson, finding Chelsea’s valuation too steep for the Italian club’s budget. The Rossoneri had hoped to secure a deal, viewing Jackson as an ideal addition to bolster their attacking options, but discussions stalled when the Blues held firm on their asking price.
Jackson, 23, joined Chelsea from Villarreal last summer in a deal worth around £30 million. Despite an inconsistent debut season at Stamford Bridge, he showed flashes of promise, netting 14 goals in all competitions. His pace, movement, and work rate continue to make him an attractive option for clubs seeking to strengthen their frontline.
Premier League sides, whose identities remain under wraps for now, are believed to be exploring both permanent and loan deals for Jackson. Chelsea, however, are reportedly reluctant to let him go unless they receive a significant fee or find a suitable replacement.
With Milan officially out of the race, the path is now clear for English suitors to step up their pursuit, setting the stage for potential negotiations in the weeks ahead. Whether Chelsea ultimately cash in on Jackson, or keep faith in his development, could prove one of the intriguing subplots of the summer transfer window.
