But Brazil, who made his long-awaited return to talkSPORT Breakfast on Wednesday, hopes the north London outfit spends their money elsewhere.
When asked about whether he'd take Jackson at Tottenham, Brazil replied: "No, not for me. I hope he proves me wrong.
"I don't think he can finish. In big, big games, I don't think he can finish.
"I'm not overly excited. But I wish him well, I really do."
In the Nic of it
In Jackson's last full season with Chelsea, he missed a total of 19 big chances, the fifth-most in the Premier League, per FotMob.
However, Jackson boasted the worst shot conversion rate of that top five, which consisted of Ollie Watkins, Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Jackson's shot conversion rate stood at 13.2 per cent, with Watkins the next-worst at 19.1 per cent.
The Senegal international also scored the fewest goals from that group, netting only 10 times in the league.

In comparison, the other forwards all scored 14 goals or more.
Jackson faces an uncertain future following Chelsea's acquisition of veteran striker Danny Welbeck from Brighton.

The Blues also added Dutch international Emmanuel Emegha from sister club Strasbourg this summer.
With Joao Pedro to reprise his role as Chelsea's main man up top, Jackson is at risk of being squeezed out.
Liam Delap, who only joined last summer from Ipswich Town, is another who is no guarantee to remain at Stamford Bridge.
Hey, big spender
As for Spurs, it's already been a summer of heavy spending having broken their transfer record twice.
Mateus Fernandes' £85m arrival from West Ham set a new bar, only for it to be passed by Sandro Tonali days later as he joined from Newcastle for £100m.
Jan Paul van Hecke was another significant signing earlier in the window, moving from Brighton for £52m.
Spurs also acquired Andy Robertson, Martin Dubravka and Marcos Senesi on free transfers.
