Coach Enzo Maresca himself confirmed that Chelsea could sell Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku before the 2025 summer transfer closed.
Two strikers Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku will not be named in the Chelea squad as a guest on West Ham's field in the second round of the English Premier League 2025/26, although both are healthy. Accordingly, they were included in the liquidated list, both of them were looking for a new stop.
When asked if he should keep Jackson as a backup plan for rookie Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, Maresca said: “He can currently play, but he will not be in the squad because we have two players in that position. If he found a good solution, he would leave. Christo is like Nico. But you need to find a partner. That is not easy. ”

Coach Maresca admitted that Chelsea could sell both Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku. |
Coach Maresca claimed that both Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku would not participate in the squad until the transfer market closed and the future was resolved. Newcastle, Aston Villa, Napoli and many other teams showed interest in Jackson, but did not want to spend 65 million pounds as Chelsea requested, while Bayern still kept an eye on Nkunku.
Chelsea announced that they would not lend their two strikers, they only accepted them to leave in the form of semi -broken. If both of them leave, coach Maresca will still be satisfied with Pedro and Delap. He said: “Pedro probably gives us more liam in a small space. Liam will probably help us a little stronger physically. ”
Both Pedro and the player on the pitch instead of the Delap people could not break the deadlock in the 0-0 draw at home with Crystal Palace. Now Chelsea will have to beat West Ham in the second match in the Premier League this season.
