Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Senegal international Nicholas Jackson from Villarreal in a deal worth €35 million (£30m/$38m).
Jackson joins for €35m
Striker scored 12 goals in La Liga in 2022-23
22-year-old pens eight-year deal
WHAT HAPPENED? Jackson has signed an eight-year contract with the Blues after an impressive season in which he scored 12 La Liga goals for Villarreal.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Jackson nearly moved to Bournemouth earlier this year, but the deal fell through due to a failed medical. Jackson will be part of a new-look Chelsea attack alongside Christopher Nkunku.
WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA? With Jackson now confirmed, Chelsea now need to clear more deadwood in attack. Romelu Lukaku, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Christian Pulisic are still on the club's books, and they will all need to be sold in the coming weeks.
