Chelsea must sell “lost “failure” and his income is more than Isak & delap sum

If the campaign does end with Chelsea’s Champions League qualification, the Blues will do so with a reliable and consistent center appearance this season.

While Enzo Maresca does have Nicolas Jackson to call, Senegal’s striker scored only ten times in the Premier League in 2024/25, missing five games in February and March despite a hamstring injury.

The current suspended shooter may not lack the help of direct competition in the position, and teenager Marc Guiu has also been eliminated since February for his own hamstring problem.

Although Jackson’s return with 29 goals in 77 games is almost disastrous, the Blues still long for proper prolific leadership, responding to the era of Diego Costa and Didier Drogba.

In summers like Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United, Chelsea himself seems to be keen on strengthening his squad with his new additions and having some leading goals that have already emerged.

The latest information about Chelsea’s forward search

It can be argued that the dream goal of any Premier League team this summer is Newcastle United’s Talisman, Alexander Isak, the Swedish star who has scored 23 top goals this season – followed by 21 goals in 2023/24.

The former Real Sociedad man was a topic of interest from Stamford Bridge last summer and contacted him, and this time there was a report on their interest in his service.

Although the 25-year-old was reportedly willing to move to London due to the gunmen’s competitive interests, any deal seems out of reach, especially Newcastle is about to approve a sale, requiring them to demand about £150 million.

With that in mind, Todd Boehly and the Co-op have proposed an alternative, with recent reports saying that Liam Delap of Ipswich Town remains the lead target as he scored 12 goals on his 12 goals in the semester.

Athletics’ Laurie Whitwell recently revealed that the 22-year-old had “face-to-face negotiations” with Man United, and that Delap is expected to have discussions with various clubs before settling in a new destination despite Chelsea’s appointment as a rival suitor.

The British sold just £30m after Ipswich’s recent downgrade, representing Boehly’s bargaining choice this summer, with Jackson traveling through the middle and needing competition and cover.

Deciding on such a deal could also be paralleled by the key departure from the bridge, Christopher Nkunku, a senior earner who certainly needs to leave.

How much does Nkunku earn compared to Delap & Isak

It is worth remembering that in the summer of 2023, around the excitement captured by Nkunku, the Frenchman joined the £52m deal from RB Leipzig, with 125 goals and assists registered on the Bundesliga side before that.

Given his vulnerability work in 2021/22, the talent at the time scored 35 goals and 20 assists in just 57 games, although this massive move seemed to be a significant coup in terms of his attacks on 2021/22, although the format was not translated in English football.

The knee injury suffered in pre-season pre-season set the tone for the 27-year-old’s two-year pain as he ended up playing only 11 Premier League appearances last semester, scoring three goals.

Although he has scored 14 goals in all competitions this time, only three of them have made it to the top, and under Maresca’s watch, the man who was once Paris Saint-Germain was limited to nine leagues.

The problem seems to be finding a settlement home for a multi-purpose asset in the starting lineup, and Maresca insists that he is not an orthodox forward, although he can’t set Cole Palmer or Enzo Fernandez apart.

As cult hero John Obi Mikel said last month, Nkunku was asked to “look lost” in the middle without Jackson, a move that didn’t work out for both sides at all.

Thankfully, interest in the troubled star appears to be widespread in front of the upcoming window, with reports suggesting he can set out in the £35 million region.

The ability to manage to shoot in numbers close to that asking price will also get the ability of Nkunku to transfer from his salary bill, and the former Leipzig man is currently making £195,000 a week in western London.

To sum up, the highly sought-after ISAK pays £120,000 per week at St James’Park, while the aforementioned Delap is £20 per week at Portman Road to ensure Nkunku earns more than both goals.

Especially based on his soft Premier League return, the 5-foot-10 failure hasn’t guaranteed such spending yet, and now Boehly can finally deliver on his expensive mistakes.
