Liverpool have shown interest in Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson and might consider pursuing the Senegalese forward. Nonetheless, James Pearce acknowledged that a transfer could be challenging because Chelsea prefers not to strengthen a direct competitor. Jackson has scored 30 goals in 81 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Villarreal in the summer of 2023 for a fee of £32 million (€37.5 million, $44 million). Despite Liverpool's interest, Chelsea is hesitant to sell to them, as they also aim to contend for the Premier League title. Jackson's role at Chelsea is uncertain due to the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, which could limit his playing time. Pearce indicated that if Jackson were not a Chelsea player, he might be a more feasible target for Liverpool, though several factors would need to fall into place for any transfer to occur.
