LONDON'S CHELSEA are speeding up negotiations regarding the future of Senegalese forward Nicolas Jackson. The hierarchy hope to finalise a transfer for the player by the end of the week.
THE MAIN FAVOURITE in the race for the 24-year-old's signature remains Birmingham's Aston Villa, who are actively engaging in talks over the deal.
Nicolas Jackson has returned to Stamford Bridge following a year-long loan at Bayern Munich, with the German giants deciding against activating the option to make the move permanent. In London, the forward has been made aware that he no longer fits into the long-term tactical plans of the coaching staff and has been urged to seek a new club. CHELSEA'S BOSSES are keen to resolve the situation regarding the Senegalese player in the coming days.
