Chelsea closing in on Nicolas Jackson
Chelsea are closing in on an agreement to sign Villarreal striker Nicolas Jackson, 90min can confirm.Personal terms have been agreed with the 21-year-old Senegal international, who ended last season with nine goals in his final eight La Liga games, and talks are on with Villarreal over a transfer fee.Jackson’s contract contains a release clause which sits at around £30m but sources have confirmed to 90min that Chelsea are likely to strike a deal which would see them pay in instalments, rather than one up-front sum.
Villarreal are prepared to accept such a structure.Should all go according to plan, Jackson will become the first signing of the Mauricio Pochettino era at Stamford Bridge.The towering forward was not Chelsea’s primary striker option, with the Blues exploring high-profile deals for the likes of Victor Osimhen and Harry Kane previously. But the club’s new recruitment team have identified Jackson as a worthwhile target and talks have progressed rapidly.
