A lot of incomings and outgoings are expected at Chelsea over the coming months. One position where the Blues might need to strengthen is striker, despite bringing in Liam Delap earlier. The former Ipswich Town man impressed last season but is he the one to lead the line as Enzo Maresca's side look to progress further in the Premier League and make a return to the Champions League?
Interestingly, news broke earlier in France that Chelsea had entered negotiations to sign Randal Kolo Muani from PSG. The Frenchman's time with the European champions has been underwhelming, as he has managed 11 goals in 54 appearances. So, they might be looking to engineer an exit for him.
Could Stamford Bridge be Kolo Muani's next destination? If it is, it might end up having a domino effect one Nicolas Jackson.
Jackson has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism in recent times as he continues to struggle with his finishing and is picking up unnecessary cards as well. With Delap already arriving as competition, the Senegalese international might need to reconsider his future if Kolo Muani is signed as well.

It looks like Jackson's camp might already be sounding out the possibility of an exit this summer with clubs like Inter Milan, Napoli and more interested in the striker. As reported by TBR Football, Graeme Bailey said:
"We’ve previously reported that Jackson has some concerns and now we understand that his people are actively checking on his options.
“As well as from the Saudi Pro League, there’s also firm interest from Germany and Italy this summer.
“In fact, Eintracht Frankfurt see him as a potential replacement for Hugo Ekitike, whilst Napoli and Inter Milan also have him on their list too."
Jackson has a lot of positives to his game. But at the same time, there are plenty of glaring weaknesses as well. And unfortunately, it does not seem like he is getting better in any of those areas.
As for Kolo Muani, there are question marks surrounding him as well. He has struggled at PSG to say the very least. That being said, he showed positive signs while on loan at Juventus last season, scoring 10 goals in 20 games.
