Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Villarreal striker Nicolas Jackson, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The 22-year-old forward is believed to have been the subject of talks for the past week or so, with Villarreal keen for Chelsea to pay his €35m buyout clause all in one go. Chelsea wanted the payment to take place in installments.
Yet according to Romano, the two have come to an agreement, where Chelsea will pay a little more than the clause price in order to be able to separate the payments over the duration of Jackson’s contract.
