“There’s big movements ongoing around Nico Jackson, he’s definitely set to leave Chelsea very soon,” Romano posted.
He added: “Understand Newcastle and Bayern have both called again in last 48h, Aston Villa pushing as Unai Emery wants him. Decision soon.”
Nicolas Jackson surely leaving Chelsea this summer
Chelsea have brought in Joao Pedro and Liam Delap in this transfer window, pushing Jackson down the pecking order after his slightly underwhelming form in the last two seasons.
The 24-year-old may well have a big future in the game, but it hasn’t happened for him at Chelsea and it surely now makes sense for all parties if he moves on.
CFC also need to shift a few players after making so many signings, and Jackson is an obvious candidate to potentially raise them quite a bit of money.

Enzo Maresca also spoke yesterday about Jackson, making it clear that the former Villarreal man would be leaving.
Although the Chelsea manager insisted he didn’t know anything about a specific move, he stated that he’d be leaving the player out of his squad for the West Ham game.
Maresca also pointed out that Chelsea had brought in two new signings up front, with an exit for Jackson looking possible.
