Liverpool get GREEN light to sign Chelsea star | OneFootball

Liverpool could sign a Chelsea star this summer after he became available on the market.

Over the last few decades, the Reds have signed plenty of players from the London club.

And these former Chelsea players have always done well at Anfield. Just take a look at Mohamed Salah. He wasn't signed directly from Chelsea but he did play for the Blues before arriving at Liverpool.

He's turned out alright, hasn't he? But he's not the only one. Daniel Sturridge was sublime and probably one of the best forwards in the league in his prime at Liverpool.

Then there was Glen Johnson, who played several years at Anfield and was always a solid right-back.

On top of that, at academy level the likes of Dominic Solanke and Rhian Brewster were recruited from Cobham and while they never made a massive mark at Anfield, they were sold for handsome profits.

Now, Rio Ngumoha is another former Chelsea star catching the eye at Liverpool. But he might not be the only one.

If the club are smart this summer, they should sign another Chelsea star who is on the market.

Liverpool are looking to sign a new forward. That much is clear. The reality is that Darwin Nunez just hasn't quite hit the ground running under Arne Slot.

The Reds know they would prefer to sell him. However, much will depend on the potential suitors and how much they are willing to pay for the Uruguayan.

Nonetheless, even if Nunez doesn't leave, Liverpool would still need to bolster their attack, and why not go for a Premier League proven forward, who has already scored plenty of goals and is still relatively young?

According to Fabrizio Romano, Nicolas Jackson has 'chances' to leave Chelsea this summer, with the arrival of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

Those two new signings mean Jackson is considering his future at Stamford Bridge and this gives Liverpool a golden opportunity and a green light to try to lure him to Anfield.

Jackson's speed and directness makes him a really suitable option for Slot's style of play.

He's not bad when it comes to his output either. Over the course of the last two seasons, he's made 34 goal contributions in 65 games in the Premier League.

Last season, he finished the campaign with 19 goal contributions in all competitions and the season before that it was 23.

These aren't remarkable numbers, but they are pretty solid and given Liverpool have Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah, they don't necessarily need a massively prolific forward.

Jackson is young as well, he's only 24-years-old and we've seen former Chelsea players become even better at Liverpool, so there is a chance for him to harness his brilliant potential at the club.
