According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are one of the teams monitoring the situation of Jackson as was reported by the Evening Standard journalist Nizaar Kinsella, but he is ‘one of many strikers’ on their list.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old is also admired by RB Leipzig, Milan and other Premier League clubs but there has been ‘no decision’ from the player or his club regarding a possible future destination.
Romano adds that the Senegal international – who scored 12 goals in 26 LaLiga games last season – has a release clause of €35m.
In January 2023, Villarreal agreed a deal to sell Jackson to Bournemouth but he failed his medical due to hamstring issues. He came back from the injury in March, and scored nine goals within the months of April and May.
