Nicolas Jackson has told Chelsea he wants to LEAVE Stamford Bridge. Jackson, 24, was left out of the Blues squad for Friday night's friendly with Bayer Leverkusen amid mounting speculation over his future.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca admitted on Thursday that the Senegalese striker - his first-choice frontman last term - could leave the club before the end of the summer transfer window.
Maresca stated: "He’s okay. When the transfer window is open, unfortunately or fortunately, anything can happen. This also involves Nico’s situation. At the moment we also had two strikers arrive, both of them in the USA, Joao (Pedro) and Liam (Delap). So we will see what happens.”
