Nicolas Jackson deal, six leave - Chelsea's dream end to the transfer window

Chelsea have less than 24 hours to wrap up any remaining business before the transfer window shuts. The world champions have forked out nearly £300 million on new players this summer, yet they've shown no sign of slowing down ahead of Monday night's deadline.

Chelsea began by finally welcoming Dario Essugo to Stamford Bridge after agreeing a deal with Sporting Clube de Portugal earlier in the year. With Enzo Maresca eager to bolster his attacking options, the west Londoners signed Liam Delap from Ipswich Town and Joao Pedro from Brighton.

As Chelsea progressed into the latter stages of the Club World Cup, they prised Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley eventually turned their attention to outgoings as they looked to raise funds for their next transfer.

After offloading a few players, it wasn't long until the Blues were back in the market, bringing in Jorrel Hato from Ajax. While the sporting directors worked hard to strengthen the squad, they chipped away at a deal for Alejandro Garnacho.

Chelsea finally secured the 21-year-old winger's signature, taking the expenditure of the summer to about £280m. The west Londoners have spent an eye-watering amount, but they've recouped almost as much in player sales.

They've enjoyed a fruitful transfer window, but there's plenty of work to be done in the final hours. So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at what the perfect end to the transfer window would be for Chelsea.

Chelsea finally offload SIX players

Chelsea need to sell six members of their squad before the transfer window shuts at 7pm on Monday. The Blues have done well to offload as many players as they have, but there's still a lot of work to be done.

First and foremost, the Club World Cup champions need to resolve Nicolas Jackson's future. football.london understands that the 24-year-old striker informed Chelsea of his desire to explore his options a few weeks ago, having fallen behind Joao Pedro and Liam Delap in the pecking order.

Bayern Munich eventually agreed a deal with the Blues to sign Jackson on a season-long loan, which included a £56.2m option-to-buy clause that could be activated at the end of the season. It's understood that the Bundesliga champions had also agreed to pay a loan fee worth about £13m.

The Senegal international was given permission to fly to Germany to finalise his move and undergo a medical. Jackson was pictured arriving at Munich airport, stepping out of a van with his entourage.

Shortly before he had the chance to step on a treadmill or put pen to paper, Chelsea raced to pull the plug on the deal, having just lost Delap to a hamstring injury. football.london understands that Jackson is required to fly back to London, as he's still under contract at Chelsea.

Fortunately for the Blues, the Senegalese star had been training with the first-team as normal in the event that he couldn't find a new club. If Jackson digs his heels in or Bayern suddenly want to negotiate a permanent deal, Chelsea have the power to secure a lucrative fee.

Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling, Axel Disasi and David Datro Fofana also need to be moved on, having failed to attract much interest this summer. Tyrique George, who hardly staked a claim for a place in Maresca's squad against Fulham at the weekend, could also leave.
