European giants consider stunning late swoop for Chelsea star image

 

Chelsea are set for a busy end to the ongoing summer transfer window, with a number of incomings and outgoings certain to take place at the club.

One of the names that has been heavily linked with a move away from the club is Nicolas Jackson.

The Senegal striker has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge since the summer arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

Therefore, Jackson has been linked with a move away in an attempt to get regular game time.

Earlier this week, it was reported that German giants Bayern Munich have agreed personal terms with the striker.

However, they are yet to agree on a transfer fee with Chelsea, and now there could be a twist in the tale.

European giants consider stunning late swoop for Nicolas Jackson

According to reports, Juventus could enter the race for Jackson if they fail to agree on a deal for Randal Kolo Muani.

According to Italian outlet Di Marzio, the Italian side is attempting to secure the Frenchman, but they may turn their attention to Jackson if they fail to secure their target.

Interestingly, Jackson was linked with Juventus earlier this summer, but nothing materialised, and this would be some twist at this stage of the window.

From a Chelsea standpoint, the Blues need to let go of a few more players so that they can make new additions to their squad before the transfer window closes.

At this point, Jackson will certainly leave the club; it's only a matter of where the striker decides to go, and as we head into the final few days of the transfer window, this one is worth keeping an eye on.
