As the transfer window progresses, Chelsea FC continues to make headlines with their ambitious plans. Under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, the club has invested over £1 billion in new signings since their 2022 takeover. Recently, they added Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa to their roster.
To further bolster Enzo Maresca’s squad for the upcoming season, Chelsea may need to offload players to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules. A potential move involves including current attacker Nicolas Jackson in a swap deal for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.
According to The Sun, Chelsea is considering using Jackson, who scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 44 appearances last season, as part of an offer for Isak. The Swedish striker, who netted 25 goals in 40 games for Newcastle last season, is valued at over £100 million. This potential transfer highlights Chelsea’s strategic approach to strengthening their squad while navigating financial regulations.
With Isak also attracting interest from top European clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea’s offer could be a crucial factor in securing his signature. The inclusion of Jackson in the deal underscores the club’s commitment to enhancing their attacking options. Stay tuned for more developments as Chelsea continues to shape their squad for the new season.
