Chelsea appear close to ticking off one of their summer transfer priorities in the coming days as they look to complete the addition of a forward. Nicolas Jackson is said to be set to undergo a medical this weekend ahead of a £30 million and could be the Blues second arrival following in the footsteps of Christopher Nkunku.
The Villarreal forward's agent, Diomansy Kamara was in a meeting in London on Friday evening with Jackson thought to have travelled to the capital to complete the deal over the weekend. The 22 year-old comes in after an impressive end to the season saw him score nine times in his final eight appearances for the Yellow Submarine.
While Chelsea have plenty of business to do in the opposite direction, Jackson is unlikely to be their last incoming transfer with at least one central midfielder still among the club's priorities. The move for the Villarreal forward could even be indicative of what is to come next in itself.
