Mauricio Pochettino set for two key transfer decisions after Nicolas Jackson to Chelsea move

The transfer window is open and there appears to be no shortage of work that Chelsea are undertaking. They are set to battle for Moises Caicedo's signature, and have been approached for the likes of Mason Mount and Kai Havertz, while a series of midfielders seem set to depart in Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

However, one deal that appears among their most advanced is Chelsea's quest to land a striker. With Romelu Lukaku another player expected to depart in addition to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Blues' struggles in front of goal have meant a new forward has long been among the club's top priorities.

Reports suggest that the Blues have already agreed personal terms with Nicolas Jackson and are preparing to activate his release clause with Villarreal that is said to be in the region of £30million. There's little doubting it will be a more appealing fee than what Napoli would demand for Victor Osimhen.
