Sky Sports’ Paul Merson has claimed that there will be alot of transfer interested in Nicolas Jackson this transfer window, as CHELSEA seek to get the striker sold before the deadline night.
Chelsea have been very busy this transfer window, they have spent over £250 million on bringing in new players to improve many areas of the squad and now look like a side that can challenge for that Premier League title next season.
Joao Pedro and Liam Delap have both arrived this transfer window, which means that Enzo Maresca does not need to have Jackson in the side and there has been alot of speculation about where he could end up this transfer window.
The Telegraph say Jackson is keen to move to St James’ Park and join a Newcastle team who won the Carabao Cup last season and will be playing Champions League football this term.
And now Merson has opened up and claimed that Jackson would be a threat for any club that manages to sign him, he told Sky Sports: “I see a lot of Chelsea, if Jackson’s available to other clubs, I’d buy him all day long.
“He’s a genuine threat. He causes problems. He is going to miss chances; there’s no getting around that. Sometimes he’s a bit sloppy with his play too. However, he is a real handful for defenders.
“He makes runs in beyond the defence and he’s great if you’ve got someone like Cole Palmer in your team. He’s always willing to make runs and someone with an eye for a pass will always find him.
“There’ll be plenty of teams looking at him before the window closes, if he’s available. I’d be shocked if no-one snaps him up.
“There will be times he has his five out of 10 performances, and there will be plenty of them, but there are other games where he will deliver.
“I was a little shocked that CHELSEA were looking to sell because while Palmer made Jackson look good, Jackson made Palmer tick, creating a lot of space for him with his runs. But Chelsea have Liam Delap to do that now.”
