Chelsea face an imminent decision over Nicolas Jackson after his agent indicated a resolution would arrive swiftly amid multiple approaches. Diomansy Kamara confirmed the matter is moving quickly, telling Foot Mercato: \u201cGermany, Italy, England: the options are numerous, the decision is imminent,\u201d Kamara told Foot Mercato . \u201cThank you for the support, we see your messages. Nicolas Jackson, transfer expected within 48 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bayern Munich are reported to have made a fresh approach to sign the forward on loan this summer. The Bundesliga champions are also credited with a separate pursuit of Jackson by The Times, having already seen a loan offer for Christopher Nkunku rebuffed earlier this window. Bild reports the Senegal international has agreed personal terms with Bayern.<\/p>\n
Chelsea are said to \u201cprefer to sell\u201d Jackson but have not given a clear response to the latest approach. The club is described as \u201cnot in a rush\u201d because there are several competing approaches for a player who has hit double digits for Premier League goals in consecutive seasons.<\/p>\n
Newcastle United have been heavily linked as they continue their search for a striker, although The Athletic reports there are \u201cdoubts\u201d within the club\u2019s hierarchy about Jackson. Those concerns point to his disciplinary record: he has been sent off three times in the past three years, including on his last trip to St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa are thought to be keen, with the manager who first handed the forward minutes in one of Europe\u2019s top five leagues having been Unai Emery. Jackson has spoken about his development and path to professional football, recalling in an interview with The Telegraph: \u201cI never went to a school of football,\u201d Jackson recalled in an interview with The Telegraph . \u201cI just played in the streets and I was quick and I could dribble. But when I went to Spain, Unai Emery was there and he developed me.\u201d<\/p>\n
With interest from several clubs and an agent-set deadline approaching, Chelsea must make a prompt decision on the 24-year-old\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
