Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson is not considering his future at Chelsea following Pochettino’s sacking. The Argentinian’s faith helped him improve in the second half of the season. The 23-year old bagged 17 goals and provided 6 assists across all competitions for the Blues. However, fans bashed him for being wasteful in front of goal on multiple occasions which cost them valuable points. He picked an injury during Senegal’s World Cup qualifiers earlier this month. Jackson signed a mammoth 8-year old contract with the Blues last summer after making the move from Spain. Chelsea have signed young prodigy William Estevao, he will join the club in 2025. Enzo Maresca is seeking reinforcements for the forwards, as he is dissatisfied with the current options. Therefore, the 23-year old is considering leaving the Stamford bridge. Atletico Madrid has shown interest in signing him.
William Estevao medical complete: Nikolas Jackson not happy with Chelsea
Chelsea have completed the signing of 17-year old winger Estevao Willian. Pundits say he has Messi’s magic feet and has a huge potential to become the world’s best. Chelsea paid £37m fee to Palmeiras for the Brazilian, it can rise to £50m plus add ons. He will not join Chelsea until 2025. He passed the medical test and just needs to complete the other formalities now. Todd Boehly gifted this young prodigy to new manager Enzo Maresca as he seeks reinforcements in the attack. Feeling disappointed with Pochettino’s departure, Nicolas Jackson feels the new manager does not have him in his plans at Chelsea. New signings will limit his minutes as a starter for the club, and hamper his confidence. He has vowed to improve his mistakes from previous season and come back as a new version of himself this season.
Spanish giants Atletico Madrid are on a hunt for a striker this window. Atletico have taken notice of the situation regarding Jackson’s unhappiness by Pochettino’s depature. They have approached Jakcson for a fee of £30m but the Blues rejected firmly. Chelsea want a straight swap for Samu Omorodion, giving them Nicolas Jackson. West Ham and Nottingham Forrest have also approached Atleti for Omorodion. Maresca’s men begin their preseason tour from 24th July against Wrexham. Nicolas will be vailable for the preseason tour of the USA next month.
Spanish forward deal almost complete
Barcelona striker Marc Guiu has been on Chelsea’s radar for quite some time now. Reportedly, he is in advanced talks to leave the Catalans and move to the Premier league. The Blues are ready to pay his £6m release clause. Personal terms will not be a problem since the young lad wants the move to England. Guiu played for the first team last season but did not get enough minutes as the season progressed. With Xavi’s departure the Youngster is doubtful of his future at the Catalan club.

Xavi admitted he is “unstoppable with space.” He scored the winner in his debut match for the Catalans earning him lots of praise. He is a player who is strong, fast and direct. The youngster can become a great goalscorer for the Blues, as Maresca absolutely adores him. Now it is upto Chelsea representatives to agree on personal terms and make a deal with the 5 times Champions league winners. Fabrizio Romano issued an update on X.com regarding the deal. He says;
“Talks between Chelsea and Marc Guiu agents are very advanced with the club confident to make it happen.€6m release clause available with #CFC ahead of other clubs keen, also after talks with agents/family.”
