Nicolas Jackson To Chelsea

The Football Transfer News has it that the Blues have agreed personal terms with Villarreal forward Nicolas Jackson as reported by David Ornstein of The Athletic.

With Lukaku expected to stay at Inter Milan and Aubameyang set to leave the club on a loan move to Los Angeles FC, Chelsea is desperate for a striker. In the summer transfer window a striker has always been their priority and looks like the Villarreal forward is just what they need.

The Senegal international is one of La Liga's finest young talents and has plenty of interests from the Premier League club's. He has scored 12 goals in 26 games for the Spanish side and became one of Laliga's breakout star.

AFC Bournemouth have been exploring some options to sign Jackson this summer after securing Premier League safety, but it was never going to be easy with Chelsea,  Newcastle and Aston Villa being interested in the striker.

Aston Villa are in talks with Jackson - the 21-year-old worked under Unai Emery during his time at Villarreal - while Newcastle United have been offered the chance to sign him.

But Chelsea intend to strike deal with Villarreal, €35m clause if needed.

Joselu To Real Madrid

Real Madrid are completing final details in the signing of Joselu deal in Football Transfer News. The Espanyol striker who didn't shine at the Premier league is going to be a Real Madrid player as per multiple reports by Fabrizio Romano.

 He is now ready to leave Espanol as Real Madrid are interested in the striker, and there is a mutual consent between both the clubs to get the deal over the line.

As Karim Benzema signed for Saudi Arabian champions, Al Ittihad, Real Madrid is desperately searching for a striker. They have been linked with big names such as Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe. But in case those deals doesn't come through, the Espanyol striker appears to be the new no. 9 of Real Madrid which would be very unexpected.

Joselu scored the winning goal in the 88th minute of the game for the Spanish national team against Italy in the Nations League Semi final match and helped them in reaching the Final of the tournament. Although he kept Espanyol's hopes of staying in La liga alive all season long but failed in doing so, yet his return to Real Madrid is well-deserved.

He will be presented as a Real Madrid player next week.
