Sources: Chelsea still weighing up 'swap' deals

Nicolas Jackson could become heavily involved

As well as the latest we bought you yesterday, with an enquiry made to Manchester City for Nico O’Reilly and Chelsea reaching back out to the agents of Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace to see if anything is possible there, The Blues are still weighing up a number of new targets in attack and other areas.

Unofficial swap deals are something Chelsea and other clubs have done a lot of lately to help balance the books of both clubs and keep within PSR rules. They make sense really and help both clubs and help deals get done. They aren’t swap deals as such, more like favour for a favour separate deals.
