  • Transfer: Man Utd want Jackson-Garnacho swap deal

    Transfer: Man Utd want Jackson-Garnacho swap deal

    Man United are reportedly hoping to swap wantaway winger Alejandro Garnacho for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson this summer.

    Garnacho, 21, has made it clear he wants to leave Old Trafford this summer after a high-profile falling out with manager Ruben Amorim.

    The winger has previously been linked with a move to Chelsea, with the West London club approaching Man United in January but ultimately being rejected.

    Now, according to iNews, United would be willing to send Garnacho to Stamford Bridge, but only if they get Jackson, 24, in return.

    Jackson has found himself in a tricky situation at Chelsea following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer.

    Chelsea are understood to be willing to sell Jackson having previously deemed him “untouchable”, with AC Milan also reportedly interested.

  • Jackson has not apologised to Chelsea teammates after red card

    Jackson has not apologised to Chelsea teammates after red card

    Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is reportedly yet to apologise to his teammates following his red card in their 2-0 Premier League defeat to Newcastle on Sunday.

    Chelsea remain in the Champions League qualification spots despite their 2-0 defeat to rivals Newcastle over the weekend.

    Jackson, 23, has been largely blamed for the result after he received a straight red card for elbowing Sven Botman after a lengthy VAR intervention.

    According to the Sun, he is yet to apologise to his teammates as he believes there is no need to feel guilty for his actions.

    Instead, he is determined to make it up to them by scoring in the Europa Conference League final, in which Chelsea will face Real Betis.

    The Senegal international will now miss Chelsea’s final two games against Man United and Nottingham Forest due to suspension.

  • EPL: Jackson goal sends Chelsea into top four

    EPL: Jackson goal sends Chelsea into top four

    Chelsea edged back into the Champions League places with a one-goal victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge.

    The win moves the Blues up to fourth in the Premier League, level on points with Nottingham Forest and a point ahead of Newcastle, who play Ipswich later on Saturday.

    With Forest and Aston Villa in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend, Chelsea will hold on to a top-five spot at least until Thursday, when Forest host Brentford.

    The crucial three points were sealed by striker Nicolas Jackson, who ended a 13-match goalless run stretching back to December.

    He drilled an instinctive 20-yard effort beyond Jordan Pickford and into the bottom corner in the 27th minute.

    Despite being the better side, Chelsea were unable to kill the game off and, given the tight nature of the race for Champions League football and the Blues’ difficult league fixtures before the end of the season, there were uncomfortable moments when Everton improved in the final quarter.

    But the hosts’ keeper Robert Sanchez saved well from both Beto and Dwight McNeil low to his right when needed.

    Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea now play leaders Liverpool at Stamford Bridge next Sunday, then visit fellow Champions League chasers Newcastle, before hosting Manchester United, and travelling to Forest on the final day.

    Everton have only won one of their past nine matches and remain 13th.

  • Jackson scores brace as Chelsea thrash West Ham

    Jackson scores brace as Chelsea thrash West Ham

    Nicolas Jackson scored twice as Chelsea condemned lacklustre West Ham to a third consecutive home defeat in the Premier League.

    Chelsea took a fourth-minute lead after West Ham’s players switched off at a free-kick which allowed Jadon Sancho to send Jackson clear on the left.

    Jackson left Edson Alvarez trailing in his wake then cut inside on to his right foot and threaded a low shot through the legs of Alphonse Areola.

    The Hammers’ lack of intensity was in evidence again 14 minutes later as Moises Caicedo was afforded time to slip the jet-heeled Jackson in again.

    This time Jackson left behind Max Kilman and produced a deft finish with the outside of the boot, with Areola caught in no-man’s land.

    Chelsea effectively wrapped up the points two minutes after half-time as Jackson turned provider.

    A swift counterattack culminated in the Senegal striker outfoxing the retreating West Ham defence with a clever reverse pass, and Cole Palmer fired emphatically beyond Areola.

    West Ham had earlier felt aggrieved when a strong penalty appeal – checked by VAR – was turned down after Crysencio Summerville went to ground following a tussle with Wesley Fofana.

    Mohammed Kudus, West Ham’s most likely source of a goal, had the ball in the net before half-time but was flagged for offside while Jarrod Bowen forced Robert Sanchez to save well at his near post after the break.

    Chelsea’s victory puts them within two points of Premier League leaders Manchester City, while West Ham are left languishing in the bottom half, three points above the relegation zone.

  • Chelsea make Jackson swap offer for Isak

    Chelsea make Jackson swap offer for Isak

    Chelsea have made a swap attempt for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.

    The Blues have made contact with Newcastle over the past week for the Swede.

    The Sun says Chelsea have raised the prospect of Nicolas Jackson moving in the opposite direction during talks.

    Jackson had an explosive first season in England, hitting 17 goals and making six assists across all competitions, though also drew heavy criticism from pundits.

    He also scored four goals in his last five Premier League games.

    However, Newcastle have little interest in parting with Isak, though they’re under pressure to sell due to concerns over the Profit & Sustainability laws.

    Why I loved Jackson’s goal celebration – Pochettino

    Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is delighted with the form of Nicolas Jackson.

    The striker has nine goals in the past 18 games for the Blues.

    Pochettino said: “I think Nico has the potential to be a very, very good striker, a fantastic striker. It is only about patience and time.

    “He got criticism from the beginning because he was always compared with Didier Drogba after he had been here a few years. And when I talk about the history of the club, it is the same… we are in the process of building a team to match the history of Chelsea.

    “To judge and be so radical with your opinions, be careful because it is about seeing what is going on and what we are doing here.

    “With Nico, through confidence and through working really hard, he is changing opinions.

    “I accept, if you are seeing things that you do not like then you can describe it but because football is so dynamic and can change, I am so happy that people are now seeing Nico in the way we saw him [earlier in the season].”

    Pochettino was happy seeing Jackson celebrate with the away fans in victory at Nottingham Forest.

    He said: “I am so happy about that [celebration] because I enjoy it when the fans enjoy it with the players. For me, it is more [important] than the relationship with the coach.

    “We need to create things where the fans really love the players because they are the principal actors.

    “With Nico, we backed him and we gave everything to be calm and work hard because we knew the capacity and quality he has and because he has the time to show it.

    “We are so happy and so proud this happened.”

    EPL: Chelsea coach, Pochettino slams Jackson, Madueke for dragging penalty with Cole Palmer

    Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has slammed Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke for dragging a penalty with Cole Palmer in their 6-0 drubbing of Everton on Monday night at Stamford Bridge.

    Pochetinno described the  heated exchange among Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke over a penalty in their 6-0 win over Everton was “a shame” and “a sad situation”.

    It would be recalled that the  trio bickered over who would take the spot kick, which Palmer eventually did to net his fourth of the game and put Chelsea 5-0 in front.

    As Conor Gallagher gave the ball to Palmer, Madueke and Jackson tried to snatch it off the 21-year-old, resulting in ugly scenes at Stamford Bridge.

    Chelsea are set to complete new manager Mauricio Pochettino’s first signing of the summer.

    The Blues are close to sealing a deal for Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal with a medical now completed.

    Per The Athletic, the 22-year-old will sign for a fee that is close to his release clause of £30 million.

    Chelsea will pay a slightly higher sum, as they are making the payments in installments.

    Jackson will likely be the main man up front for the Blues, who will sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

    The Stamford Bridge club are in the process of a clearout, with Kai Havertz and Mason Mount also ready to leave.

    ‘Being naked is part of what makes us human’-Paris Jackson

    Michael Jackson’s daughter , Paris Jackson has revealed her opinion about the concept of nudity.The 19-year-old, who recently signed with IMG models, believes nudity is also a way she can convey her feminist ideas.She said that nudity is what makes us human

    In her words:‘I’ll say it again for those questioning what I stand for and how I express myself. Nudity started as a movement for ‘going back to nature’, ‘expressing freedom’, ‘being healthier’ and was even called a philosophy.

    ‘Being naked is part of what makes us human. For me it helps me feel more connected to Mama Gaia. I’m usually naked when I garden.

    ‘It’s actually a beautiful thing and you don’t have to make it sexual the way many Hollywood stars (and the media) do.

     

    ‘Not only is your body a temple and should be worshipped as so, but also part of feminism is being able to express yourself in your own way, whether it’s being conservative and wearing lots of clothes or showing yourself.’

    ‘We don’t always agree with one another and that’s okay. But again, we are all human, and to appreciate the things that other people do that make us human helps us feel connected. How can that be a bad thing?’
