Al Ahli join European chase for Nicolas Jackson

Al Ahli Saudi have moved decisively into the race to sign Nicolas Jackson as they look to reinforce their attack ahead of the new season. The club’s interest comes at a time when Ivan Toney appears increasingly likely to return to Europe, prompting Al Ahli to identify a strong replacement. Reports indicate that Jackson has been placed among the management’s priority targets due to his pace, versatility and finishing ability.

The Senegalese forward remains contracted to Chelsea and is currently on loan at Bayern Munich until the end of June next year. Al Ahli, however, face intense competition, with Fenerbahçe, Juventus, Milan and Newcastle United all monitoring the situation. Jackson has yet to decide his next move, weighing the appeal of staying in Europe against the prospect of a new challenge in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Ahli are pushing to act quickly, determined to secure a reliable attacking option should Toney depart.
