Arsenal eyeing shock swoop for Nicolas Jackson

Arsenal could make a shock swoop for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson at the end of the season, according to Superdeporte.

The Gunners are expected to bolster the centre-forward department this summer amid the inconsistent form of Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

The club have been linked with some high-profile names, but reports claim that they could make a shock move for Jackson.

The Senegal international has had a stop-start season with the Blues and the club are prepared to sell him for a reasonable profit.

Jackson was purchased for 30 million pounds and could be available for around 42 million pounds in the next transfer window.

Atletico Madrid are planning to revive their long term pursuit, but it is claimed that Arsenal could make an offer of their own too.

The Gunners have been linked with the likes of Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko lately, and it would be a surprise if they choose to go for Jackson as their new marksman.
