Bournemouth owner Bill Foley has spoken about the Cherries tried to sign Nicolas Jackson last season – and regrets not getting over the deal the line.<\/p>\n
Jackson joined Chelsea for \u00a332million from Villarreal this summer after attracting attention with his blistering end-of-season form, scoring eight goals in nine games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He netted his first Premier League goal on Friday against Luton with Mauricio Pochettino backing him to become ‘one of the greatest’ strikers in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It turns out that Bournemouth were so prescient as to almost sign him in January before he was a more commonly known name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Nicolas Jackson, we tried to get him this year, we had him last year but he didn’t pass his medical, I believe we made a mistake and I’m sorry we didn’t get him,’ Foley told TNT Sports before Bournemouth’s match with Spurs today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cherries agreed a fee in excess of \u00a320m for the young forward last summer and fended off competition off Southampton but it collapsed at the last moment when he failed his medical.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They are still yet to bring in an out-and-out striker this summer.<\/p>\n
Perhaps they could have done with Jackson this afternoon as they lost 2-0 at home to Spurs, who continue their fine early form under Ange Postecoglou.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski were on target to ensure back-to-back victories for Spurs, while Bournemouth still search for their first win of the season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
