Chelsea have reached full agreement to sign Nicolas Jackson.
According to reports, Chelsea have finally reached a full agreement to sign Villarreal’s Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson
The 22-year-old forward has reportedly been the focus of negotiations for the past week or two, with Villarreal demanding that Chelsea fully satisfy his €35 million buyout clause. The Blues requested that the payment be made in instalments.
But according to reports, the parties have reached an understanding in which Chelsea will shell out somewhat more money than the clause amount in order to spread the payments out over the course of Jackson’s contract.

Jackson made an impression in brief bursts the previous season, but after missing much of this season due to injuries, he came back fighting. He was one of La Liga’s most dangerous players in the latter part of the season, scoring 10 goals and dishing out 2 assists in just 12 games.
Jackson, who can play anywhere along the frontline, has recently added a Midas touch to go with his pace and movement in front of goal. He will develop into one of the most dangerous forwards in the game if he can keep up this form.
