Chelsea has been linked with a top striker in the summer transfer window due to the numerous missed opportunities this season. However, the London club should exercise caution and refrain from making this move for several reasons.
Jackson has been Chelsea’s main attacking force this season, despite squandering several chances. The Senegalese international possesses qualities beyond scoring goals, including ball retention, link-up play, and dribbling skills, among others. With his youth and promising potential, Jackson represents a valuable asset for the club’s future.
Christopher Nkunku is another potential candidate to lead Chelsea’s frontline, but injuries have plagued his season. Now available for the remaining matches, if Nkunku can maintain his fitness like Jackson throughout the next season, Chelsea would be wise to rely on these two players rather than splurging on another high-priced striker. They could opt for a more budget-friendly option instead.
