Premier League side Everton are reportedly preparing a summer move for Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Chelsea.
The Toffees are keen to strengthen their frontline after enduring a difficult season in attack, with forwards Beto and Thierno Barry struggling to make an impact.
Jackson, known for his pace and sharp movement, has now emerged as one of the club’s preferred options.
According to reports from Football Insider, Bayern Munich are unlikely to make the 24-year-old’s loan deal permanent, despite his recent goal-scoring contribution.
Chelsea, however, are said to value the striker at around £70 million, a price tag that could pose a challenge for Everton unless negotiations bring the figure down.
The London club’s stance could yet change as the transfer window approaches, particularly with several strikers expected to become available in the market.
For Jackson, a move back to the Premier League could offer a fresh opportunity to rediscover the form that made him one of Africa’s rising stars when he first joined Chelsea from Villarreal.
