Paul Merson hits out at Chelsea for allowing Nicolas Jackson to leave - and names the Premier League club who SHOULD have signed him

Paul Merson has criticised Chelsea's decision to let Nicolas Jackson leave and singled out one Premier League club who he believes should have signed the forward.

The Senegal international sealed his move to Bayern Munich on Deadline Day following a transfer saga fraught with twists and turns.

After the Blues added to their squad with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, Jackson accepted he may find minutes hard to come by at Stamford Bridge, leaving him open to a move away from the club.

He agreed a deal to sign for the Bundesliga champions on loan but at the last minute, with Jackson already in Bavaria, Chelsea considered pulling the plug as Delap picked up a hamstring injury.
