Chelsea is gearing up for a hectic transfer period, with numerous players expected to both arrive and depart from the club.
While supporters may be thrilled about potential acquisitions, it’s also crucial to monitor players who may leave, as the Blues need to offload some members to generate funds for new signings.
Acquiring a striker is a key focus for Chelsea as they seek to find reinforcements for Nicolas Jackson in the attacking role. The Senegalese forward received a red card in the match against Newcastle United, resulting in a suspension for the remaining league matches of the season.
In addition to Jackson’s inconsistency this season, his absence leaves Chelsea without a recognized striker in the Premier League for the final stretch of the campaign.
Given these circumstances, it’s logical for the Blues to pursue a striker to enhance their offensive capabilities. They have been linked to several players, including Liam Delap and Victor Osimhen, but reports suggest they have settled on a preferred target for next season’s attack.
As outlined in a report by The Guardian, Chelsea is poised to pursue RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko if they defeat Nottingham Forest on Sunday and secure a spot in next season’s Champions League.
Manchester United is among Chelsea’s main competitors for these prominent signings, but their loss in the Europa League final may influence their recruitment efforts.
To facilitate the transfer, Chelsea might consider including Christopher Nkunku in the deal to negotiate RB Leipzig’s asking price for Sesko.
While a transfer for Sesko seems feasible, Chelsea aims to improve their prospects by qualifying for UEFA Champions League football this Sunday.
