According to Sky Sports, Chelsea expects that after the transfer dust settles, the transfer market's interest in strikers will turn to their own striker Jackson.

Cesco is currently attracting competition between Manchester United and Newcastle and other teams. Chelsea Club expects that Jackson will once again arouse market interest in the next few days after Leipzig officially sells Sesco. Champions League teams in Serie A, Bundesliga and Premier League have expressed their interest in signing Jackson.

Chelsea signed two strikers, Drapp and Pedro this summer, and now they think Jackson is no longer a non-sale product. In any potential deal, Jackson's valuation will be consistent with the fees paid to strikers in today's similar markets.

In addition, Chelsea hopes to sign Xavi Simmons for less than 50 million pounds, while Leipzig estimates the players from 50 million to 55 million euros. Chelsea has not yet made a bid for Simmons.
