Tottenham have been linked with a move to sign Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson in the summer transfer window, and reliable journalist Alasdair Gold has provided an update on the situation.
Reports emerged on Tuesday lunchtime that Tottenham were one of the sides showing an interest in signing Jackson during the summer.
Spurs are likely to be in the market for attack and reinforcements after seemingly solving their defensive and midfield issues.
The report claims that Tottenham are among a number of clubs interested in signing Jackson, with Chelsea valuing him at around £65 million.
The Senegalese international spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich, and Chelsea could look to cash in on him, given the number of players they have in the squad.

According to journalist Gold, Tottenham are not expected to explore a move for Chelsea striker Jackson in the summer transfer window.
That's not to say Tottenham don't have an interest in Jackson, but it feels unlikely that he's going to be a target for them in the current window.
Spurs might be put off by his £65 million price tag, while Chelsea might not be looking to sell to a London rival.
Jackson might not be the man, but Tottenham are likely to enter the market for a striker this summer.

It wouldn't be a surprise to see Tottenham prioritise the signing of a new striker in the final weeks of the summer transfer window.
Dominic Solanke was brought to the club to be their main centre-forward option, but he has struggled with consistency and injuries since arriving in North London.
Richarlison has been Tottenham's most consistent option through the centre of attack, but he has also suffered with injury problems and is being linked with a move away from the club.
Tottenham need to bring in that long-term number nine to help guide them in the right direction. Spurs need their new Harry Kane once again.
