Nicolas Jackson stands on the six -member shortlist of AC Milan for a new center and the Italians are convinced that he can be appreciated from Chelsea after he has fallen over the pecking order.
New signing sessions Liam Delap and Joao Pedro have jumped for Jackson, who fears that he has lost the confidence of Bluesbaas Enzo Maresca.
His goals have been taken with only four since the turn of the year and two red cards in his last five performances, against Newcastle in the Premier League and Flamengo in the Club World Cup.
The 24-year-old Senegal International arrived two years ago for £ 32 million from Villarreal.
Chelsea insists that they are not in a hurry to sell and appreciate Jackson at £ 100 million, despite the search to find an upgrade.
Jackson is often impressed by his willingness and attitude. He scored 30 goals at Stamford Bridge in two years, but sometimes missed the clinical lead to become a force in the Premier League.
Milan, who has a history of transfer trade with Chelsea, wants to strengthen in advance after Tammy Abraham has returned to Roma after a year on loan and has since come on loan and the release of Luka Jovic.
It is thought that they have received an indication from intermediaries that Jackson can be tempted, but the price is probably priceless if Chelsea is serious about their £ 100 million appreciation.
