Arsenal make Nicolas Jackson transfer decision
Arsenal have reportedly decided against signing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson during the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are keen on bolstering their strikeforce ahead of next season and reports claim that Viktor Gyokeres is the number one target.
Talks are advancing with Sporting CP for the Swede and the club are optimistic of securing an agreement in the coming days.
Amidst this, HandofArsenal has revealed that Arsenal were recently offered the chance to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson by agent Ali Barat.
Barat recently helped the Gunners to sign Noni Madueke from the Blues, but the Gunners have rejected the opportunity to land Jackson.
The decision does not come as a surprise, given Jackson has failed to meet the expectations over the past year and could be on the move soon.
The Blues have signed two strikers in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer and they are open to parting ways with Jackson for the right fee.
