Arsenal are linked with suprise move for Chelsea star. The player currently finds his future uncertain at West London. The Blues have already signed a new player in his position.
Arsenal are willing to improve their attacking unit. They want a new striker and a new winger. As for winger, they had Nico Williams as top target. But, the Spaniard is likely to join Barcelona. Hence, they are now monitoring other available wingers in the transfer market.
On the other hand, Mikel Arteta wants a world-class striker. He wants a player who can score on regular basis. They have Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko as top targets. But now, Gunners are being linked with Chelsea striker who seem to have fallen down in pecking order.
Arsenal linked with Chelsea striker
The star in question here is Nicolas Jackson. He is 24 year old Senegal international whom Chelsea signed in summer 2023. But, he has been highly inconsistent for them. He has scored only 30 goals in 80 games. Hence, his future at Stamford Bridge is uncertain.
Chelsea have already signed Liam Delap who has taken the starting spot. In addition, they are willing to sign another striker. This will reduce the game time of Jackson even further. Hence, the 24 year old can get sold in order to raise funds and comply with the PSR.
According to Duncan Castles who told The Transfers Podcast, Gunners are plotting surprise bid for Jackson. He added that the Blues will be open to sell him as they have already signed Liam Delap. However, there have been no moved made yet by the North London giants.
A move for Nicolas Jackson will not go well with Arsenal fans. They want a striker who is well proven and can score regularly. Mikel Arteta has also identified that lack of goals have kept them far from major titles. Hence, there are very slim chances of Arsenal signing Jackson. But, the 24 year old can be their last option if moves for other targets fail.
