“I’m ready to”… – Nicolas Jackson sends clear transfer message to £110m incoming striker as Blues close to secure another ‘WORLD RECORD SIGNING’
Nicolas Jackson Shows Support for a Potential Chelsea Transfer for Victor Osimhen
Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea appears to have endorsed the team’s pursuit of Victor Osimhen, a forward for Napoli. Chelsea has had bids for Samu Omorodion of Atletico Madrid and Alexander Isak of Newcastle rejected as they look for a new striker this summer.
The Striker Hunt at Chelsea
Right now, Victor Osimhen, a highly sought-after Nigerian international, is reportedly connected to Chelsea in a high-profile transfer. Romelu Lukaku is rumored to be involved in the agreement as leverage.
The Athletic reports that while talks for Osimhen involve a loan agreement with a buyout option, Lukaku may rejoin former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte in a permanent move. Lukaku flourished at Inter Milan under Conte, tallying 34 goals and 30 goals in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons, respectively.
Osimhen’s Impressive Record
Osimhen’s future at Napoli remains uncertain, with Chelsea reportedly in talks to bring the prolific striker to Stamford Bridge. Since joining Napoli from Lille in July 2020, Osimhen has netted an impressive 76 goals in 133 appearances.
Despite the rumors, Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda, has vehemently denied the reports. He tweeted, “I read about ‘fantasy exchanges’ with Victor… as if he was a package to be delivered quickly. This package is the top scorer of the third Scudetto in the history of Napoli. Respect and stop fake news!”
Jackson’s Enthusiasm he’s ready to learn and fight for his place.
Nonetheless, Jackson appears enthusiastic about the prospect of teaming up with Osimhen. He liked an Instagram post linking Chelsea with a move for Osimhen, indicating his approval of the transfer. If Osimhen joins, it would create healthy competition for Jackson up front. Last season, Jackson scored 17 goals in 44 appearances for Mauricio Pochettino’s side and is looking to build on that under new manager Enzo Maresca.
