Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Tuesday that Tottenham have entered the market for Nicolas Jackson, but no formal bid or club-to-club talks have been opened.
- Chelsea are understood to be asking about £65 million for the 25-year-old and have signalled they would consider a sale if that valuation is met.
- Aston Villa are also pursuing Jackson and manager Unai Emery’s prior working relationship with the player is seen as a competitive advantage.
- Jackson spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich in a deal that included a buy-obligation provision which collapsed after injury and appearance issues, and he remains under a long-term Chelsea contract that strengthens the club’s negotiating position.
- If a move proceeds it would free playing time for Jackson and help Chelsea generate transfer income, while Tottenham would need to balance this signing with other planned business before the transfer window closes.
