Chelsea are reportedly nearing a deal to sign Villarreal striker, Nicolas Jackson in this summer transfer window.
According to sources, Chelsea are hoping to complete the £30 million transfer of Jackson “in the coming days.”
The 21-year-old, who has twice represented Senegal, scored 13 goals in his breakout season with Spanish club Villarreal last year.
As the Yellow Submarine finished fifth in the La Liga standings, he completed the season in outstanding form. Scoring nine goals in his final eight appearances.
The Evening Standard claims that Chelsea are working hard to finalize a deal for Jackson. Following in-person negotiations and that personal terms are almost ready to be agreed upon.
Victor Osimhen, a standout for Napoli who has been linked to Man United, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain, is projected to fetch over £100 million when he leaves the club. The energetic young forward is considered as an option by the Blues.
Mauricio Pochettino, the new Blues manager, is scheduled to start work on July 1 as the team attempts to recover from a disappointing season.
They finished in the bottom half of the standings for the first time since the 1995–96 season. Despite spending more than £600 million on 18 players over the summer and winter transfer windows.

They are eager to reinvest massively, though, as the former Tottenham boss seeks to revitalize the team.
Chelsea needs a number nine. And while Kylian Mbappe might be available following his split from PSG. The West London club will probably not make a move for him considering that his price tag is anticipated to be more than £150 million. And he also believed to receive £893,000 per week.
