Chelsea look set to secure a £30 million deal for Villarreal star Nicolas Jackson.

The Blues appear to have found their central striker for the 2023-2024 season this summer.

Per The Mail and other sources, Chelsea will agree a deal that will include installments for Jackson.

Villarreal would prefer to have more of the money up front, given Jackson has a release clause in his contract.

Chelsea are funding their summer spending spree with several sales, including that of Hakim Ziyech.

The Moroccan is heading to Al-Nassr, while Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy are also set to play in the Saudi Pro League next season.
