Nicolas Jackson was a notable absentee from Chelsea’s squad for their pre-season clash with Bayer Leverkusen as he looks set to leave the club this summer.

The 24-year-old has found himself unwanted at Chelsea following the signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro from Ipswich and Brighton, respectively.

Jackson was left out of Enzo Maresca’s squad for their friendly game against Bayer Leverkusen on Friday.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Senegal international’s time at Stamford Bridge is over, and he is likely to leave this summer.

Premier League rivals Newcastle are understood to be interested following their failure to sign Benjamin Sesko, with Bayern Munich also keeping tabs.

Christopher Nkunku, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling, Renato Veiga, and Axel Disasi were also left out as they look for new clubs.
