Nicolas Jackson left out of Chelsea’s squad for the summer tour

Sought after during this summer’s transfer window, the Senegalese international is not part of the Blues’ squad travelling to Australia and Asia for pre-season preparations.

Nicolas Jackson’s future could lie away from Chelsea next season. Following his loan spell at Bayern Munich last season, the Senegalese international is certainly edging closer to a move this summer.

Sought after in the transfer market, notably by Aston Villa, the Senegalese international is not included in the Blues’ squad for their pre-season tour of Sydney and Hong Kong. This absence comes as Aston Villa are reportedly stepping up their efforts to sign the 25-year-old striker.
