Tottenham is preparing a shocking recruitment as a candidate to inherit Son Heung-min's No. 7.
The British Chelsea News reported in an exclusive report on the 21st (Korea time) that `Tottenham is showing great interest in the competition to recruit Nicholas Jackson.'
Chelsea News is expected to find the situation interesting as news spread that Tottenham are interested in Chelsea's Jackson. With Son Heung-min's transfer and James Maddison's out-of-season injury, Tottenham want to reinforce their offense. Eberechi Eze's recruitment was also canceled. Director Thomas Frank must be very fond of Jackson and his activities. He is not a perfect player, but he can bring a lot to Tottenham.
It was then reported that he contacted Jackson in case Hishalisson left. Chelsea have recently shown they don't mind selling their players to rival clubs in the transfer window. Aston Villa, Manchester United, AC Milan and Bayern Munich also reportedly showed interest. However, it is a separate matter which team will pay the desired amount.

Tottenham's Son Heung-min, a team legend and the core of the attack, moved to LA FC this summer. Son Heung-min was a little sluggish last season, but his influence in the attack was absolute within Tottenham. Since he left, Tottenham is in desperate need of strengthening its power. Even James Madison left during the preseason due to long-term injuries, so recruiting the offense became more urgent.
Initially, Tottenham's resources were Savinho and Eberechi Eze. Savinho was Manchester City's best prospect, showing off his excellent breakthrough and kick in the previous English Premier League (EPL) debut season, scoring three goals and 11 assists to take charge of Manchester City's side. But Manchester City didn't want to send Savinho and the transfer didn't happen. Eze lost before his eyes. Tottenham, which was close to signing a contract with Eze, was overturned by Eze's dream club Arsenal's contract proposal just before the conclusion. Eze immediately agreed with Arsenal and blocked the possibility of a transfer to Tottenham.

Tottenham, who missed two players, seem to have turned their heads to Jackson. Jackson, who is wearing a Chelsea uniform ahead of the 2023-2024 season, was the subject of criticism even though Jackson scored 17 goals and 5 assists in 44 games in his first season. The big chance miss, which missed the score at the critical moment, frustrated fans. The 2024-2025 season seemed to change under coach Enzo Maresca. Expectations were high due to improved goal determination. However, after the middle of the season, it returned to its original form. There was even an injury problem. Chelsea will be away at a time when they are shaking due to a long-term departure. He finished the season with 13 goals and five assists in 34 official games.
Chelsea have already recruited strikers to fill Jackson's place this summer. With Joao Pedru and Liam Delap joining, Jackson's position has already disappeared. Coach Enzo Maresca also appears to have ruled Jackson out of his plans. Jackson also needs a transfer to play.
However, it is still unclear whether Tottenham will be able to afford Jackson's price tag that Chelsea has offered. Give Me Sports in the U.K. reportedly has a price tag of 파운드80 million (about 150 billion won). It could be transferred to North London, it said. As a striker who will fill Son Heung-min's vacancy, attention is focusing on Tottenham's choice at a time when the transfer fee and skills are not satisfactory in many ways.
