Chelsea striker Jackson is doubtful, Bayern denies contact, Tottenham Hotspur intends to ask for price

The future of Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson is full of uncertainty. Head coach Enzo Maresca did not provide guarantees to stay in the Senegal international. Meanwhile, despite Bayern Munich sporting director Max Ebertell explicitly denied the Bundesliga champion's interest in Jackson, Premier League clubs' attention continues.

There are signs that Jackson is likely to be sold by Chelsea in the final stage before the summer transfer window is closed. Jackson, 24, is expected to play the role of the team's third striker in the new season as new players Liam Delapp and Joao Pedro quickly incorporated and established positions.

Maresca spoke of Jackson's situation at a press conference on Thursday. He said: "As the transfer window opens, anything can happen. This also includes Nicholas' situation. Let's see what happens next."

Previously, Newcastle United was rumored to be interested in introducing Jackson as an alternative to failing to sign Manchester United's target Benjamin Cesco. However, they are not the only teams interested in Jackson. According to German Sky Sports, Bayern Munich asked Chelsea about Jackson's situation after failing to buy Stuttgart striker Nick Waltermede. However, Bayern sports director Ebert quickly clarified this, stressing: "I have never talked to him (Jackson). Ebert further stated that Bayern's lineup plan has been set and he is very satisfied with the existing signings. Although he is troubled by injuries, he will not sign a combat substitute because of this.

Although Bayern withdraws from the competition, Newcastle is not without rivals on the road to chasing Jackson. Fabrizio Romano, a well-known transfer reporter, revealed that Chelsea's city rival Tottenham Hotspur has also contacted Jackson. It is reported that Tottenham's interest depends on whether the team's forward Risalisson will leave this summer. Risalisson is currently the main substitute for the team's center Dominic Solank.

Jackson himself denied the outside world's claim that he was threatened by new players, but he did not completely close the transfer door. He recently said: "I am a Chelsea player. The future is in the hands of God. If there is any change, everyone will naturally know. At present, I only focus on my preparations." Chelsea is expected to price Jackson for more than £79 million.
