Fabrizio Romano has revealed that there is a possibility of Nicolas Jackson leaving Chelsea this summer.
Doubt has been cast over the striker's future at the Blues following the signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

As a result, Romano has hinted that a departure is possible.
"Be attentive to Nicolas Jackson's situation at Chelsea," he said on his YouTube channel.
"Because I'm hearing that there is a possibility between Nicolas Jackson and Chelsea to part ways this summer.
"It's getting concrete, it's getting serious.
There's interest from several clubs, I'm hearing in the Premier League, also in Italy.
"AC Milan dream of Nicolas Jackson, at the moment it's very expensive for Italian clubs in general, and also for AC Milan.
"Chelsea have always made an important valuation for Nicolas Jackson."
