The performance of Jackson, 22, has been the subject of scrutiny after scoring just seven goals in 18 appearances in all competitions. In response, Chelsea have shortlisted three forwards, with Ivan Toney among the top targets for the January window, it has been revealed Football Insider.
-A porter: Furthermore, Robert Sánchez’s injury during the recent defeat against Everton has highlighted the need to strengthen the goalkeeper position in the London team. Reports suggest that Chelsea have accelerated their plans to sign a new goalkeeper in January, seeking to address a shortage in that position.
-A midfielder: Chelsea’s transfer planning, however, is subject to financial movements and the future of some senior stars who could leave the club. There has been speculation that midfielder Conor Gallagher could be sold next month as part of a bid to raise funds.
With Chelsea currently sitting 12th in the league standings after 16 games, 14 points off the top four, decisions in the winter market will be crucial to consolidating Pochettino’s team and aiming for a second-leg resurgence. half of the season.
