The Blues are coming off the back of a simply woeful campaign, which saw them finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table and, of course, miss out on European football.
Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been brought in to steady the ship and is seemingly eager to overhaul his squad.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and N’Golo Kante have all been tipped for summer exits whilst Mauricio Pochettino has indicated that several positions need to be addressed, including a striker.
This has seen the club trigger Nicolas Jackson’s release clause ahead of a £30m move.
Jackson, 21, scored 12 and assisted four in 26 La Liga outings for Villareal this season and the west Londoners will be hoping he can improve on that form come the start of 2023/24.
Elsewhere, the Express report that Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, Celta Vigo’s Gabri Veiga and Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili could all be on their way to Stamford Bridge.
