Italian confirms Arsenal looking to wrap up Premier League signing of striker
Shock reports have claimed that ARSENAL are lining up a move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, as they struggle to get the deal for Viktor Gyokeres over the line.
Arsenal are still in negotiations with Sporting CP over the potential signing of Viktor Gyokeres, despite two major agreements being in place. But doubts are beginning to creep in as fears grow the deal might not materialize.
It’s understood the Gunners are already considering a back-up plan, with options lined up in case Gyokeres slips through their fingers. Italian journalist Orazio Accomando has revealed that Arsenal could switch their attention to Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson
The news comes after Pundit Alan Shearer recently opened up and tipped Nicolas Jackson to leave CHELSEA this summer transfer window, as Enzo Maresca prefers Liam Delap and Joao Pedro as his two main attackers.
Chelsea have already bolstered their attacking options this summer with a £30 million deal to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and a £60m move for Joao Pedro from Brighton last week, and there is talk that they will continue their summer of spending.
He was quoted on the Metro: ‘As soon as Pedro came in and scored the two goals and Delap’s already there, if there’s one person that’s going to be shifted out then my guess it would be Jackson.
‘It wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve already offered him to other football clubs and they’ve enquired about it.’
IcFootballnews says…
Jackson was decent at times for CHELSEA last season, he chipped in with a few goals, he was the man that Enzo Maresca could rely on, but that is no longer the case and the Italian boss now has a few options.
If the right offer does arrive at the club over the next few months, then yes, Jackson will leave the club as he will not want to sit on the bench every week and watch his career pass him bye.
But it would be interesting to see just where he ends up.
