The agent of Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson admits a move to AC Milan was close.
Jackson left Villarreal for Chelsea at the beginning of the summer market.
“He did well at Villarreal and many different offers came in," agent Diomansy Kamara told USCatanzaroCalcioNews.it.
“We were close to signing for Milan, but then Chelsea came along and we went there instead."
Jackson scored 13 goals and had five assists in 38 games for Villarreal last term.

So it was the 13 GOALS in 38 games in Laliga that impressed Chelsea that much, just like United was impressed with a 9 goal in 29 games striker. The premier league is not a child's play. You need a proven striker like Haaland to succeed

It will be hard for any striker at his age , in a team struggling like chealsea to be scoring goals with little or no service. I saw him looking for passes at the middle of the park yesterday . I feel sorry for him . Give him to either city or Arsenal or Liverpool or even brighten and he will prove his worth . Wish him d best of luck 🤞🏼
