What happens with Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson between now and the end of the transfer window is anyone’s guess.
Jackson has been linked with several clubs, with Chelsea thought to be open to a sale after signing Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
However, it is also believed that the Blues have no problem with the 24-year-old remaining at Stamford Bridge.
While Jackson’s future remains up in the air, there are a few players at Chelsea who will definitely be leaving west London this summer. For example, Lesley Ugochukwu has been allowed to have a medical at Burnley.

Chelsea could loan out Nicolas Jackson
Jackson could be about to be presented with another option during this transfer window.
According to talkSPORT, Chelsea may be open to loaning Jackson if there is an obligation to buy the Senegal international at the end of the season.
That may suit suitors who do not want to fork out on Jackson this year. The Blues want big money for the former Villarreal man if he decides to leave.
After Liverpool’s signing of Hugo Ekitike for £79m, Chelsea value Jackson at £80m. A loan with an obligation to buy for a lower fee next summer sounds better for interested parties.

Nicolas Jackson offered to three clubs
TalkSPORT’s report claims that Jackson has been offered to three clubs: Manchester United, Newcastle United and AC Milan.
Neither side has bitten yet, with Manchester United and Newcastle focusing on RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
Newcastle have made another huge bid for Sesko after having their previous offer rejected, so there could be some movement on that soon. Manchester United have also made a massive proposal for the player.

Sesko was once on Chelsea’s radar, but their interest cooled following the signing of Delap. Whoever fails to land Sesko out of Manchester United and Newcastle could perhaps turn to Jackson.
