# Tottenham transfer news as Alasdair Gold responds to shock £65m Chelsea attacker links

**Tottenham Hotspur’s search for an attacker is ongoing, and so far, they haven’t had any luck in this regard.**

In recent weeks, we have covered the Lilywhites’ interest in Eli Junior Kroupi, Savinho, Cody Gakpo and Ferran Torres in detail, among others.

In recent weeks, a handful of others named have also been thrown around, but there have been no concrete developments.

Earlier today, though, a rumour emerged that Tottenham could sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea.

And now, Alasdair Gold has poured water over claims that the Senegalese striker could move to North London.

## No Tottenham interest in Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson

Jack Rosser wrote on X that Jackson, who is valued at 65m, is a target for Tottenham and Aston Villa this summer.

“Tottenham are considering Nicolas Jackson as Roberto De Zerbi looks to rebuild the forward line.

“Chelsea striker, valued at £65m, currently in Hong Kong on pre-season and also a target for Aston Villa.”

That naturally generated a lot of chatter on social media and Tottenham fans were divided in their opinion of the potential move.

However, just a few minutes ago, the reliable Alasdair Gold posted a tweet on his X account that put those rumours to bed once and for all.

“Spurs not expected to explore any move for Nicolas Jackson,” wrote the Tottenham insider. Case closed, simple as that.
