Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea striker wey dey tear shirt and flex muscle after every goal, don dey eye summer switch to Manchester United. The Senegalese baller dey open to the move, but wahala dey — Chelsea dey price am like gold statue for museum!
The asking price na cool £70 million, and that figure don dey make clubs back off like person wey see juju for road. United still dey think am, but nobody wan overpay for market wey never fully blow.
Oya make we yarn the full gist like we dey for street corner with bottle of malt.
Jackson to United — How E Take Start?
Jackson just join Chelsea last season from Villarreal, and e show some flashes of brilliance. E score some crucial goals, e get energy, and e dey press defenders like person wey dey look for change.
But Chelsea own no stable — different coaches, different formations, and wahala full dressing room like pepper for eye. Jackson self don show signs say e fit thrive under better structure, and Manchester United dey seem like a solid next step.
With United still dey find consistent No. 9 wey go replace injury-prone Martial and reduce pressure on Højlund, dem dey monitor striker market tight. Jackson name don enter their list.
Chelsea’s Asking Price — £70M Wahala
Na here problem dey. Chelsea no dey reason giveaway. Dem set Jackson price at £70 million, and clubs don begin shift like say dem see school fees bill mid-month.
United dey interested, but dem no sure say the price make sense. Jackson na talented player, yes. But £70M for striker wey still dey find consistency? E loud abeg. That money fit buy two decent strikers from Bundesliga join.
Even other clubs wey dey ask of Jackson don cool body because dem feel say Chelsea wan use the transfer take recover all their spending.
Is Jackson Really Worth That Money?
The guy get potential, no doubt. E still young, e strong, and e get speed. Plus, Premier League no be beans, and Jackson don dey adapt gradually.
But e still raw. Some games e go shine, other games e go disappear like 2G network. E dey need proper coaching and sharp tactical system to bring out im best — maybe na Ten Hag fit unlock am.
But paying £70M go be serious risk. And you know say United don burn hand before with players like Sancho and Antony. Dem no go wan repeat that mistake.
Where E Go Fit Enter for United?
If Jackson land for Old Trafford, e go compete directly with Højlund for that top striker role. Or maybe Ten Hag go dey rotate dem depending on opponent.
The idea go be to use Jackson’s pressing, pace and movement to stretch teams, while Højlund go give physical presence and box dominance.
It fit work well — but only if price go down.
Other Clubs Dey Interested?
E get small whispers say Newcastle and West Ham dey watch the situation. But nobody ready drop £70M for am. If Chelsea reduce their demand to around £45M–£50M, we go see movement fast.
Even abroad, teams for Italy and Spain dey watch am like DSTV highlights, but dem no get Premier League money to enter bidding war.
Final Yarn
Nicolas Jackson dey ready leave Chelsea, and Manchester United dey eye am as potential striker option. But as usual, money don enter the chat — and Chelsea dey price like say Jackson na Benz wey dey fly.
If dem reduce the price small, the deal fit happen sharp-sharp. But if dem hold strong, everybody fit waka go look another option.
One thing sure — the summer transfer window no go dull. Drama dey cook.
Wetin you reason? Jackson worth £70M or Chelsea just dey do “big boy” too much? Drop your thoughts jare! ️
