Derry – Jackson – Paez feature in Chelsea news now

Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Kendry Paez, Nicolas Jackson and Jesse Derry that you may have missed…

Former Blues boss Roberto Di Matteo has opened up and tipped CHELSEA striker Nicolas Jackson to leave the Stamford Bridge club and make a move to Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Chelsea have already bolstered their attacking options this summer with a £30 million deal to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and a £60m move for Joao Pedro from Brighton last month, and there is talk that they will continue their summer of spending.

The Athletic report that Jackson is not deemed as ‘untouchable’ at Chelsea and could be sold if they receive a high enough offer.

And after suffering their lowest goalscoring tally in Premier League history last season (44), the Red Devils could still look to strengthen their front line by signing Jackson, as per BBC Sport.

However, ex-Chelsea midfielder Di Matteo, who later steered the club to Champions League glory, could see Jackson playing at the Theatre of Dreams next season.

‘Nicolas Jackson will have a few clubs looking at him. He’s a very good striker. He scores goals and he’s got some experience now in England as well,’ Di Matteo told BetVictor.

‘I think he would have some clubs chasing him and he might want to go somewhere where he’s maybe more wanted than at Chelsea.

‘I could see him joining Manchester United, and there are other clubs that are looking for him. Aston Villa could be one if they lose Morgan Rogers.

‘There are a number of clubs, but he might go back to Spain as well, who knows? CHELSEA are in a great position that they are not forced to sell.

‘They have a number of players that are on the market and they can raise some funds from there, so they are in no hurry to sell.

‘They are in a good financial position, so it really depends on what clubs are prepared to pay.’

PAEZ MOVES

CHELSEA midfielder Kendry Paez has joined Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg on a season-long loan, the Blues have now confirmed as they seek to give the young player some first team experience.

Chelsea posted: ‘A deal to bring Paez to Stamford Bridge was struck in June 2023, but he could only complete his switch after his 18th birthday in May.

‘Paez has gained plenty of first-team experience after making his senior debut in February 2023. The 18-year-old has made 70 appearances for Independiente del Valle and has also been capped 18 times by Ecuador.

‘We look forward to monitoring and supporting Kendry‘s development throughout his time in France.

Good luck, Kendry!’

IcFootballnews says….

Paez is a great young talent, he came to Chelsea will big hopes of trying to break into that Blues side, to make an impact and possibly push on to reach his full potential. But that move to Stamford Bridge was far too early for the lad.

He is never going to get a real chance to prove himself at CHELSEA, he is never going to get the minutes that he would like and although this is a loan move, his next switch should be a permanent one.

The Blues have a habit of signing the best young players around, then sending them on loan for the next few seasons until the player is virtually forgotten about and then sold on.

Paez will hope he gets the minutes at Strasbourg that he needs, but maybe a permanent move away from Chelsea should also happen in the future as he needs to get to that point about what is best for his future.

He is far too talented to just be shipped out on loan for the next few season.

CHELSEA WELCOME DERRY

CHELSEA is pleased to announce the signing of Jesse Derry, with the 18-year-old agreeing a contract with the Blues until 2029, after the Blues convinced the young man to make the move from Crystal Palace.

After a very impressive season last year under Enzo Maresca, and then adding the club world cup to the cabinet this summer, Chelsea have been spending some big money to help improve the squad.

Maresca already has one of the biggest squads in the Premier League, but with Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal all improving the side, the players that Chelsea have signed have all been pretty impressive.

But they are also still keen on adding some young players to the squad and they have now completed the signing of Derry – Chelsea posted: ‘An England Under-19 international, Derry arrives at Stamford Bridge from Premier League side Crystal Palace.

‘Derry made his Under-18s debut for the Eagles while still a schoolboy – and was named Palace’s Under-18s Player of the Season at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

‘Last term, he featured for Palace’s Under-18s and made the step up to Under-21s football.

‘He also represented England at this summer’s UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

‘Welcome to Chelsea, Jesse!’

IcFootballnews Says…

We hope that Derry knows exactly what he has done, we hope that he knows this move to CHELSEA may not given him the chances that he wants or needs, it is a risky decision to make.

He would have probably had more chances to shine at Palace in the coming seasons, The Blues have a habit of signing the best young players around, then sending them on loan for the next few seasons until the player is virtually forgotten about and then sold on.
