Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson may be heading for the exit door this summer, as manager Enzo Maresca has hinted at the possibility of a transfer. With Chelsea’s recent acquisition of two new strikers, competition in the forward line has intensified, casting doubt over Jackson’s role in the squad.
In a recent media briefing, Maresca addressed the growing speculation surrounding the Senegalese striker. “During the window, anything can happen. That includes Nico Jackson. We’ve signed two strikers, so let’s see how things unfold,” he said, as reported by trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Since joining Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson has had moments of brilliance, but the club’s ongoing restructuring under Maresca suggests that changes are still expected. As the Blues aim to strengthen their attack, Jackson’s future appears increasingly uncertain.
Adding to Chelsea’s pre-season challenges, Maresca also confirmed a setback in defence. Promising centre-back Levi Colwill picked up an injury in training. Although the extent of the injury remains unknown, Maresca admitted it’s a concern.
“We’ve had a problem in the last two days with Levi Colwill. We’re unsure how long he’ll be out, but hopefully, it’s not serious,” the manager stated.
Chelsea’s preparation for the upcoming Premier League season is shaping up to be eventful. With Jackson possibly on his way out and Colwill sidelined, the club faces important decisions in the coming weeks.
Despite the uncertainty, fans remain hopeful that the squad will settle before the season kicks off. As the transfer window progresses, Chelsea supporters will closely watch developments surrounding Jackson’s potential move and Colwill’s recovery timeline.
