Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson’s performance could scale his Stamford Bridge career, and despite its outstanding performance, Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson was the scorer of Real Betis’ “winning” goals in the game, despite its outstanding performance, despite its large frustrating performance.
Indeed, in one stage, the Senegal striker had a frustrating touch while racing the Betis defended behind the defensive, outlining the limitations of a center, whose limitations ended in 2024/25 had only 13 goals in all games, while the worst in all games Christopher Nkunku (14).
Not surprisingly, the search has begun to find a suitable replacement or competitor for the 23-year-old as he has reached a deal with Ipswich Town Talisman Liam Delap in the Premier League this season.
Next summer, the 22-year-old will be Enzo Maresca’s leading number nine, and it remains to be seen, especially turning to Eintracht Frankfurt sensation Hugo Ekitike.
It is obvious that the British £30 million occupation could mark the beginning of a busy summer in western West London – a larger statement signature has been drawn.
Chelsea continues to transfer search after Delap
Chelsea won the signature match of the former Manchester man, with the Conference League champion especially knocking out rival Manchester United in the battle for his service, confirmed on Friday.
If recent reports are to be played, the competition with the Red Devils may continue, with Maresca and Co believing turning their attention to Old Trafford’s long-term goal – Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite.
The Blues are said to be providing a way for towering centre-backs, although the side with David Moyes seems reluctant to sell its precious assets, according to the Daily Mail.
The 22-year-old was the subject of a £50 million offer reached last summer, although Toffee was looking for nearly £70 million in fees at the time. Whether the price tags are the same this time remains to be seen.
The report shows that even if Ruben Amorim’s side re-interested, the Blues could have an edge in Branthwaite’s desire for Champions League football – which seemed to be high on his agenda when he considered the export a year ago.
Branthwaite is a colleague of Delap at the U21 level in England and represents greater talent than his fellow countrymen.
Why Branthwaite is bigger than Delap
Despite all the excitement of winning the Delap game, at one stage, it was reported that almost every Premier League club is paying attention to his situation, and it is worth remembering that it is still a risk-posed deal.

Indeed, the on-the-top scorer scored just eight goals in the championship game against Hull City in 2023/24, behind his first run at the highest level.
Whether the youngsters can play again under the guidance of Etihad’s partner Maresca, remains to be seen, is the evidence in the Premier League is undoubtedly small.
It must be said that this is not the case with Branthwaite, the former Carlisle United Man who joined Everton for £1m in January 2020 and has played a role on Goodison Park for the past two seasons after borrowing eyes at PSV Eindhoven during the 2022/23 campaign.
In the Netherlands, the 6-foot-5 giant was described by manager Ruud van Nistelrooy as a “complete” defender, while analyst Ben Mattinson praised him as “a two-foot ball, a physical beast”, which is the scope of his talent.
Since then, the £70 million man has enjoyed two outstanding seasons at the top of England, making 65 league appearances during that time after becoming a key figure with James Tarkowski.
Branthwaite was described by expert Ian Wright as a “monster”, especially ending 63% of his finals on 2024/25, while averaging 2.1 tackles and interceptions per game, and 6.3 clearances and 6.3 clearances.
In terms of background, he can win 57% of his finals in Stamford Bridge’s left-footed companion, while an average of 2.2 tackles and interceptions while gaining 3.3 clearances per outing.
Three compelling seasons in a row – including his time at Eredivisie, Branthwaite has now repeatedly proven himself at the elite level. Meanwhile, Delap still has a way to explain his consistent success on the big stage.
