Nicolas Jackson is available but not included in Chelsea's upcoming matchday squad and appears likely to leave before the transfer window closes. Chelsea added Joao Pedro and Liam Delap as principal strikers, reducing Jackson's role and prompting consideration of offloading him. Jackson showed promise at times but did not secure a consistent place in the team. Several clubs have shown interest, with Aston Villa linked due to Unai Emery's past connection. Chelsea also completed additions and departures across the squad as they reshape the attack ahead of the new season.
He (Jackson) is available, but he's not going to be part of the squad, Maresca said. As we said, we have two strikers, two players in that position, and also we know that something can happen before the window closes. Nicolas Jackson set to leave Chelsea, but where next for the Blues striker? Jackson has shown some promise during his time at Chelsea and could be a decent signing for other Premier League clubs. It remains to be seen where the 24-year-old will end up, but if rumours are to be believed, then he has plenty of interest in him at the moment.
Chelsea needed to make changes in attack this summer, and it looks like they've done some good business. Pedro and Delap should be upgrades on Jackson, while Jamie Gittens and Estevao Willian have also both joined, while Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix and Noni Madueke have left. CFC fans will hope this can finally be the season they seriously challenge for the
