Chelsea set record-breaking transfer fee for Nicolas Jackson as AC Milan line up move for Blues forward

CHELSEA have set their asking price for Nicolas Jackson amid reported interest from AC Milan.

The striker appears to have fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea this summer.

Boss Enzo Maresca has brought in two forwards, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, for a combined £90million.

And it has been claimed they will demand even more than that to let Jackson go.

Italian giants AC Milan are said to be interested in the 24-year-old after Tammy Abraham’s loan expired.

But Chelsea are in no rush to sell and value Jackson at £100m.

That figure would make him the most expensive striker ever sold by a British team.

Jackson is contracted to Chelsea until 2033, having penned a new deal last September.

But he could find game time hard to come by last season with Pedro starting ahead of him in the Club World Cup semi-final against Fluminense.

The £60m newboy found the net with two stunning strikes on his first start for the club.

Former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel expressed doubt over Jackson’s future after he was left out of the semi-final.

He said: “I think that sends a massive message to Jackson.”
