Chelsea have bolstered their attacking options by buying Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal. The striker has joined for around £32m and signed an eight-year deal.
Jackson’s contract contained a £30m release clause but Chelsea secured favourable payment terms by agreeing to a slightly higher price. The Senegal striker, who finished last season by scoring nine goals in eight games, also had interest from Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Everton.
