Chelsea Plot to Add Two Frontline Strikers for Next Season
In a surprise move, Chelsea has announced plans to have at least two frontline strikers in their squad for next season. This comes as a shock to fans and transfer enthusiasts alike, as the club had been courted by several suitors for the services of Nicolas Jackson, one of their star strikers.
Jackson Not for Sale… Yet
According to sources, Chelsea has no intention of selling Jackson, at least not for now. The Senegal international has been the subject of interest from three Premier League clubs, as well as teams in Europe and Saudi Arabia. However, it appears that Chelsea has decided to hold onto their prized asset, tying him down to a new contract extension that runs until 2033.
Manon Chapter Closed for Chelsea
In other news, it’s been revealed that Chelsea has given up on signing AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Manon. The Blues were offered the chance to sign him last month, but ultimately decided not to make a bid, deeming him too expensive at around £12 million. The potential deal was put to bed due to complications and a significant difference in valuations between the two clubs.
Goalkeeper Situation at Stamford Bridge
With the Manon deal off the table, it’s likely that Chelsea will not be signing another goalkeeper this summer. The club already has a quartet of goalkeepers in Sanchez, Jorgensen, Petkovic, and Penders. One of these four is expected to be loaned out to Strasbourg, and another may be sold.
Chelsea’s Summer Transfer Plans
For now, Chelsea’s focus is on building a strong strike force, with Jackson at the forefront. The club’s summer transfer plans are likely to be shaped by this aim, with a strong emphasis on bringing in top talent to support the Senegalese striker. Only time will tell how this narrative unfolds, but one thing is certain – Chelsea is gearing up for a thrilling 2023/2024 season!
