Nicolas Jackson is on AC Milan’s six-man shortlist for a new centre forward and the Italians are confident he can be prised away from Chelsea after falling down the pecking order.
New signings Liam Delap and Joao Pedro have leapt ahead of Jackson, who fears he has lost the trust of Blues boss Enzo Maresca.
His goals have faded out with only four since the turn of the year and two red cards in his last five appearances, against Newcastle in the Premier League and Flamengo in the Club World Cup.
