Man Utd hold talks with Chelsea striker

Like Noni Madueke who left Chelsea to join Arsenal, Nicolas Jackson could be the next to join another rival in the summer transfer window.

Following the arrival of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro at Chelsea, Jackson has been linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge.

Jackson has struggled to be a prolific goalscorer for the Blues, netting only 10 goals and creating five assists for Enzo Maresca’s side.

Owing to this, the Blues are willing to let him leave and he has since been linked with an exit, with Man United one of the potential suitors for the 24-year-old.

BBC Sport Journalist Nizaar Kinsella in a recent update disclosed that Man United have ‘held talks’ with Jackson’s agent over a potential move.

He said that a lot needs to happen in terms of outgoing players for Man United before any deal for Jackson could be done.

Jackson has a market value of around £43m, similar to the value Man United placed Garnacho, who has also attracted interest from Chelsea.

There are speculations that a swap deal could be brought to the table, which would see the Argentine move to Chelsea, and Jackson go to Old Trafford.
