Nicolas Jackson 'completes Chelsea medical' ahead of £32m move from Villarreal... with Blues 'paying more than the forward's release clause'

Nicolas Jackson has reportedly completed his Chelsea medical ahead of the Villarreal forward completing his £32million move.

The 22-year-old scored 13 goals last season in a breakthrough campaign at Spanish side Villarreal.

He scored nine goals in his last eight games, as the Yellow Submarine finished fifth in the La Liga table.

According to the Athletic, the Senegalese forward has now completed his medical as the moves edges closer to completion.

Jackson’s release clause stands at £30m with the La Liga side having asked Chelsea to pay the full fee up front.
