The 24-year-old Jackson was replaced by Delap during Chelsea's first game in the Club World Cup and has not started a game since under manager Enzo Maresca. Maresca is likely to sell Jackson if a suitable offer comes in. According to reports, Manchester United is closely monitoring Jackson's situation and considering him as a potential signing.

A number of clubs, including Juventus and Napoli, are also interested in signing Jackson. Additionally, Arsenal has been linked to the Senegal international, with the club still in talks with Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres. Jackson's contract with Chelsea runs until 2033.

Former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer has suggested that Jackson could leave Chelsea in the coming month, with both Arsenal and Manchester United closely watching his situation. Shearer believes that Jackson's frustration with being pushed out of the Chelsea team could lead to him being sold to another club.

Shearer stated, "I don't know, am I playing devil's advocate here in thinking Jackson may be the one? That wouldn't surprise me if he was sold to someone, whether in our country or not, that's one that wouldn't surprise me if they made that decision. They've got some serious options in every forward position."
