Nicolas Jackson transfer scramble: Tottenham battle Atletico and Napoli for Senegal forward

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly emerging as potential suitors for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich.

The 24-year-old Senegal international has impressed in the Bundesliga, but Bayern appear to have ruled out making his move permanent, leaving the door open for interested clubs elsewhere.

According to Sport1, Tottenham could be in line to secure Jackson’s services, though they face stiff competition.

Atlético Madrid are also understood to be monitoring the striker closely, while recent months have seen links to Premier League side Aston Villa and Serie A outfit Napoli. This growing interest highlights Jackson’s rising stock as a forward capable of making an impact at the highest level.

Jackson’s current contract with Chelsea runs until 2033, giving the London club leverage in any potential negotiations.

Tottenham would likely have to contend not only with rival clubs but also with Chelsea’s valuation and willingness to sell, particularly given the striker’s potential and age.

For Spurs, securing a player like Jackson could bolster their attacking options, offering a versatile and dynamic presence up front. His ability to adapt to different systems and leagues, demonstrated during his loan spell in Germany, adds to his appeal for a team looking to strengthen its forward line ahead of the next campaign.
