Its market value is about 20 million, but the set of Emerywho do not want to release him, are asking for more, according to English media.

The ‘blues’ have had the best forwards on the planet for the last two decades. Drogba, Fernando Torres, Diego Costa, etc. Therefore, now there is only Jackson and Broja This is not enough. Nico Jackson, formerly of Villarreal, is certainly to the taste of the Argentine coach, but does not play in every game and there is almost no substitute. Broja is having minutes to march on Africa Cup of the Senegalese, despite the fact that he did not meet expectations.
Big dreams are called Victor Osimhen, a sign that in January was not sustained. Chelsea are clear they will pursue the Nigerian in the summer, once the season is over.
