The player is Nicolas Jackson who is a 24 year old Senegalese forward who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich. Chelsea is now ready to sell him in the summer because the club does not see a long term future together at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-chelsea-wants-to-sell-nicolas-jackson\">Why Chelsea wants to sell Nicolas Jackson?<\/h2>\n<p>The Blues signed Jackson from Villarreal in 2023 for a big fee. He showed his talent in the Premier League but has struggled to become a regular. This season he went on loan to Bayern Munich to get more playing time and prove himself.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bayern have decided not to make the move permanent. Jackson played only about 20 games in the Bundesliga and scored 7 goals while mostly coming off the bench behind Harry Kane. Chelsea now accepts that it is best to sell him rather than keep him as a backup or unhappy squad member. Other clubs like Tottenham and Newcastle are also watching the situation closely.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE: Chelsea shock decision: Players back John Terry but board say no<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While at Chelsea, he scored 24 goals from 65 appearances in the Premier League along with 10 assists. Before that, he played in La Liga for Villarreal, where he scored 12 goals in 35 games. At Bayern this year, he added 7 goals in limited minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson has shown that he has the ability to score well through statistics. He is also fast, powerful and enjoys running behind the defenders. However, to become one of the best strikers in the Premier League, he must continue to develop his finishing and consistency.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE: Chelsea has set \u2018Next Hazard\u2019 for shock role after injury blow with Jesse Derry<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-everton-s-need-for-a-new-striker\">Everton\u2019s need for a new striker<\/h2>\n<p>Everton have been fighting hard in the Premier League under David Moyes. They want to climb the table and bring more excitement to their fans. Their main striker this season has scored only six league goals despite playing in every match. Moyes has publicly asked for more goals and better team play from his forwards.<\/p>\n<p>The signing of Jackson would give Everton a young and hungry attacker with Premier League experience. At \u00a3126k a week, his wages are high, so Everton would likely need to negotiate a lower salary or get help with payments. Still, many see it as a smart move if the transfer fee is reasonable. David Moyes\u2019 Everton side needs more firepower up front.<\/p>\n<p>According to the reports, their current striker options have not scored enough goals this season. Jackson could be a strong upgrade if Everton can get the deal done. The talks are still early, but Everton have shown real interest. Chelsea wants to sell to balance their books and make room for new signings. Jackson himself may prefer a move where he can play regularly every week.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Chelsea FC\" class=\"wp-image-173682 ewww_webp_lazy_load\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21.jpg\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21.jpg.webp\" srcset-webp=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21-600x338.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21.jpg\" alt=\"Chelsea FC\" class=\"wp-image-173682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chelsea-FC-21-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE: Man City target Enzo Fernandez transfer move<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-uncertain-future-of-nicolas-jackson\">The Uncertain Future of Nicolas Jackson<\/h2>\n<p>The summer transfer window will be busy for both clubs. Everton must act quickly if they want to beat competition from other teams. For Jackson, it is a fresh start which could help him rebuild his confidence and show his true potential.<\/p>\n<p>If the deal goes through, it could be one of the interesting stories of the summer. Everton hope Jackson can become their new goal hero, while Chelsea look to move on from a player who did not quite fit their big plans. In football, big money players often get second chances. Nicolas Jackson still has time on his side, and Everton could be the right place for him to shine again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"preferred-source-box\" style=\"margin-top:40px;padding:25px;background: #1865b4;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;text-align:center;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;margin-bottom:10px;color:#fff;\">ENJOYED THIS STORY?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:20px;color:#fff;\">\n<p>                    Add Six Sports as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"after-article-links\" style=\"margin-top:20px; font-size:14px;\">Follow the latest updates from <strong>Premier League<\/strong>, <strong>The League<\/strong> and<br \/>\n        <strong>Champions League<\/strong>or explore more<br \/>\n        <strong>Football<\/strong> stories, <strong>Football Teams<\/strong> &#038; <strong>All Football Competitions<\/strong> .
