Tottenham Hotspur target Nicolas Jackson to undergo Chelsea medical
According to AS, Chelsea will complete the signing of Villarreal striker and Tottenham Hotspur target Nicolas Jackson this week.
The 21-year-old striker has reportedly already personal terms with Chelsea and will travel to London this week to undergo a medical before signing a contract for the next five or six weeks.
Chelsea will pay Villarreal €35 million (£30 million) in transfer fees for Jackson, according to the report in the Spanish publication.
Blow for Spurs
And this will come as a blow for Tottenham Hotspur.
According to The Sun on Sunday (18/6; page 62), Tottenham Hotspur are planning to make a move for the striker.
The report has claimed that former Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino has personally told his Chelsea bosses to get a deal done for Jackson.
Spurs, though, are considering a bid for the young striker, according to the report, but the claim in AS suggests that the youngster is on his way to Tottenham’s London and Premier League rivals Chelsea.
