Last summer, Chelsea invested heavily in Mauricio Pochettino’s project, signing plenty of young, talented individuals.
One of those to arrive was Nicolas Jackson, and it’s fair to say that his start to life in the Premier League was extremely promising given that he’s still just 23 years old.
The Senegal international netted 14 Premier League goals while also providing five assists, which seems to have been enough to earn Todd Boehly’s trust.
Nonetheless, Chelsea are still in the market for a new striker this summer, but this could actually prove to be perfect for Jackson, especially considering who they look set to sign.
Chelsea close in on centre forward
According to a report from Spanish outlet AS, Chelsea are on the verge of signing Marc Guiu, who could ‘officially announce his goodbye’ imminently.
The promising young talent from Barcelona has a release clause in his contract of £5m, which Chelsea will pay.
Maresca is reportedly a huge fan of the Spaniard, and Chelsea have the advantage that the striker wants to play in the Premier League.
It’s said that the sporting project at Chelsea is a selling point, while the contract offer would be much higher than that of Barca’s with personal terms now accepted.
Just this morning, Fabrizio Romano has also added to the story, stating that the deal is ‘moving into the final stages.’
