Enzo Maresca deceives Nicolas Jackson from planning at Chelsea
Chelsea during the Enzo Maresca dynasty is conducting a fierce reconstruction. After a series of popular deals such as Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens or young midfielder Jorrel Hato, The Blues has not stopped. They continued to aggressively hunt for more rookies before the transfer period was closed.

Maresca's biggest worry now is the defense. Levi Colwill's knee ligament injury caused Chelsea to fall into the forced to recruit more central defenders. And to clean up and liberate the budget, the sale of Nicolas Jackson is considered a reasonable solution.
Do not avoid or around, Maresca said frankly: “He still practices with us, but he will not be able to participate in the competition. You all understand the situation. The transfer period is still open, he can leave. Let's wait and see.”
Jackson was originally suspended in the opening match of the Premier League against Crystal Palace due to a red card in the last match last season against Newcastle. But even without being banned, Maresca's statements show that Jackson will have to sit in the stands instead of appearing on the field.
Newcastle was rumored to have Jackson, but the Northeast team was hesitant. Instead, Brentford's Younge Wissa is emerging as a more possible option to replace Callum Wilson, who left St James' Park this summer. If Alexander Isak was suddenly welcomed in the coming weeks, Newcastle would be under pressure to find a new striker, and then Jackson could return to the sight.
