Chelsea confirm £32m Nicolas Jackson transfer on EIGHT-year deal as star becomes Pochettino’s third signing

CHELSEA have confirmed the signing of Nicolas Jackson.

The Villarreal star joins the Blues on an eight-year deal for a fee of £32m.

The 22-year-old managed 12 goals and four assists in La Liga last season.

He stunned towards the end of the campaign, bagging nine goals in his last eight games of the season.

It has been reported that Chelsea have paid slightly over Jackson’s release clause in order to get the deal done.

The Senegalese International plays as a centre-forward and will be a new option for incoming boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Jackson becomes Chelsea’s third signing of the summer joining Christopher Nkunku and Kendry Paez at Stamford Bridge.

The flurry of incomings comes after Chelsea have had a mass exodus of talent to manage their inflated squad.

Both N’Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly have swapped London for Saudi Arabia whilst Kai Havertz has joined rivals Arsenal in a deal worth £65million.
