FIFA Club World Cup champions Chelsea are reportedly evaluating the future of Nicolas Jackson amid growing interest in the Senegalese international.

According to The Athletic, both Premier League clubs and teams outside England have expressed interest in the 24-year-old striker.

The former Villarreal forward has been shortlisted among five players likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

His game time is expected to diminish in the upcoming season following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

Jackson has faced intense criticism since joining Chelsea from Villarreal, particularly for his inability to convert chances consistently for the Blues.

Despite showing flashes of potential, his finishing and decision-making continue to drawn scrutiny from fans and pundits alike.
