Arsenal are all set to go after Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson to have more manpower in the upfront. Sources have confirmed this surprising update. Nicolas Jackson’s future has been a topic of discussion recently in the transfer market. Arsenal are going strong in the ongoing transfer market. The Gunners have already announced the signings of Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard. Another Chelsea player, Kepa Arrizabalaga, has also joined Mikel Arteta’s squad. Swedish striker Victor Gyokeres is also on his way to the Emirates. Amid these big-name inclusions, Arsenal have considered bringing in Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea. This potential transfer update has come in a shocking way to many Arsenal fans. The fans are doubtful about the actual need for Jackson in the team.
Nicolas Jackson Needs to Leave Chelsea Now
Things are not easy anymore for Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea. The Senegalese attacker understands that he has lost his important game time under Enzo Maresca. Arsenal’s surprising interest in him will only benefit his career graph. The 24-year-old forward has played only three games in the FIFA Club World Cup. Although he got an assist to his name, Chelsea didn’t have to rely on his shoulders. Jackson also didn’t perform well in those three matches. An Unnecessary red card against the Brazilian team Flamengo cost Chelsea the three points. Eventually, he was heavily trolled and criticised for that action. After that, Chelsea found its rhythm without Nicolas Jackson. His stats are also telling the harsh situation of his career. Jackson has played 30 matches in the Premier League and he was able to score only 10 goals. In the overall 2024-25 season, Jackson has registered only 13 goals. It seems obvious that he is not comfortable under Enzo Maresca’s system. Moreover, the latest signing, Joao Pedro, has put up a remarkable performance in the CWC. The former Brighton forward scored a brace against his old club Fluminense. It was again Pedro who gave the final blow to PSG’s sextuple dreams. Thus, within a week, Nicolas Jackson has lost his place to Pedro, Chelsea’s new sensation. Another striker Liam Delap has already impressed the fans. Considering these circumstances, Nicolas Jackson needs to part ways with the Blues.
Why do Arsenal Need Nicolas Jackson?
Having targeted Viktor Gyokeres and Rodrygo, Arsenal’s out of the blue decision to go after Nicolas Jackson has raised eyebrows. As the arrival of Gyokeres is just a matter of time, Arsenal fans believe that this will be a waste of money. Rather than buying Jackson, an offer to Benjamin Sesko would be more effective. Mikel Arteta understands that this is a now-or-never situation for Arsenal. Noisy neighbors, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have won titles this season. It is high time for Arsenal to create the perfect balance in their squad. The latest signings are commendable so far. After failing to secure Ollie Watkins, Arteta has asked the club to bid for Nicolas Jackson. But if it happens, it will be a hefty amount. Chelsea want at least around €70 million for Jackson. On the other hand, Real Madrid winger Rodrygo has a serious possibility of leaving Spain this summer. Clubs like Manchester City and PSG are also after the Brazilian. Amid this crucial phase, Arsenal fans demand that the club must go all out for Rodrygo.
Manchester United Have Joined the Race
The latest developments in Nicolas Jackson’s future have taken another turn. Other than Arsenal, the Red Devils are also interested in Nicolas Jackson. The situation in Ruben Amorim’s attacking section is worse than Arteta’s. Having signed Matheus Cunha, Manchester United want to bolster their attack. Chelsea are monitoring the situation as of now. Reports suggest that Aston Villa can bid for the player.
