If Dewsbury-Hall, Broja and Ugochukwu all go through for more than £20m, Chelsea will be able to say they have banked well over £200m in player sales (inclusive of bonuses).

In a league that’s becoming more focused on fast transitions, Nicolas Jackson’s pace and counter-attacking ability make him a valuable asset.

He stands out for the way he can pick up the ball deep and quickly drive forward. According to data from Footovision, he led the Premier League in counter-attacking moves involving ball carries.

Jackson also made 60 off-ball sprints behind the defence at speeds over 25 km/h — that’s more than any other player in the league, based on SkillCorner’s tracking.

While there’s been mixed talk about his overall performances, it’s worth noting that Jackson has scored 10+ league goals in both seasons since joining Chelsea, and his specialized strengths continue to attract interest from several Premier League clubs.

The final sum of Broja’s transfer is unlikely to be made public, although Chelsea’s asking price was £25m

Another talented member of the development squad, Alex Matos, is nearing a permanent move.

Chelsea are in talks with Tyrique George’s representatives to decide the best next step for his future.

A simple loan move is an option, but Chelsea won’t accept any offers that include a buy option. Similar to Marc Guiu’s situation, Chelsea want guarantees about playing time if they agree to loan him out.

A permanent transfer is also being considered, but only if Chelsea can include a buy-back clause and a sell-on fee in the deal.

Several clubs from both England and Europe have shown interest

Christopher Nkunku, who has a €50 million price tag, has been allowed to skip the start of Chelsea’s pre-season training.

Two clubs that were seen as potential destinations earlier in the window — Manchester United and RB Leipzig — are now considered unlikely to make a move.
