Romano latest: Key Chelsea man could follow Madueke out of the door; Premier League clubs “keen and informed” | OneFootball

What took everyone by surprise in Chelsea’s first couple of years under the new ownership was the volume of players they were buying.

They bought a whole new squad, then had a busy time selling off the old squad – a job which isn’t yet complete either.

But contrary to some expectations, things aren’t slowing down now the team has been revolutionised. It’s no longer the old regime’s players who are being sold, it’s now the players the new structure bought too.

Jackson at risk after new arrivals

Nicolas Jackson linked with a Chelsea exit again by Fabrizio Romano.

Noni Madueke is about to join Arsenal for £50m. Joao Felix, Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, the list goes on. Players bought as recently as last summer and players who were first team regulars last season are all just as vulnerable.

According to Fabrizio Romano’s latest Tweet, the next to go could be Nicolas Jackson. The striker has been instantly downgraded from first to third choice by the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, at least by the evidence of the last couple of Club World Cup games.

Romano says that Jackson “could try a new chapter elsewhere,” and notes that AC Milan have already asked about him but been warded off by his high asking price. But Premier League teams are “keen and informed” on his situation, and they have deeper pockets.

Jackson deserves better – but ruthless Chelsea ready to cash in

It would be very harsh on Jackson, who is a good player as well as a frustrating one. We’re delighted he has competition now, but we don’t want to see him forced out.

But the policy of player trading is simple, and if he really is going to miss out on game time this season, this is the moment to sell him for the maximum profit.
