Chelsea consider Jackson sale
)
The former Chelsea midfielder has repeatedly gone public with his belief that Jackson is not the striker Chelsea needs, insisting that the Blues should be going all-in for a more proven goalscorer instead.
Mikel has questioned Jackson’s composure, his finishing, and his readiness to lead the line for a top Premier League side.

Now, with Jackson attracting interest from other clubs and Chelsea unwilling to rule out his departure, it seems Mikel's criticism may have finally started to resonate within the boardroom.
Osimhen links heating up again
While Jackson has notched 10 Premier League goals and five assists this season, his inconsistency in front of goal, combined with a late-season suspension, has left Chelsea re-evaluating their attacking options.

Following repeated requests from Mikel for the Blues to sign his compatriot, the renewed links to Victor Osimhen are telling for Jackson.
Osimhen, who nearly made the switch to Stamford Bridge last summer, is reportedly back on the club’s radar, alongside names like Liam Delap.

With Chelsea looking to re-jig their attack once again, Osimhen’s proven goal-scoring pedigree could make him the ideal upgrade, and Jackson may find himself the odd man out in that equation.
