London, England – Big wahala don show for Stamford Bridge as Chelsea dey fight to balance their books before transfer window close. Dem get serious matter with two players: Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, wey dem dey reason to park their load.
Both players don catch the eye of plenty clubs, and now dem dey eye loan moves. But no be small drama! FIFA don limit clubs to six international loans for season; e mean say Chelsea get just one loan slot left. So, dem wan sell Jackson and Nkunku at the same time, na wah o!
As e be, Bayern Munich dey show serious interest for Jackson. Dem wan sign am for loan, but dem talk say dem fit add option to buy or make am compulsory buy. E no easy to negotiate o! (E be like say na wetin dem dey chop for Bayern).
Nkunku matter still dey hot as AC Milan dey eye him for permanent transfer. Dem dey talk say Chelsea fit collect around £30 million for am. But the man no wan just transfer anyhow; he wan dey play Champions League, and his high salary fit make am hard for suitors to gather him.
With Nkunku move, jackson fit waka go on loan, or if na vice versa, e go still make sense. Chelsea gats find way to loan or sell these misfits, like Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell, wey dey look for better playing time. No be small matter, e be like say dem go need palm wine to plan this transfer drama well!
As all these dey happen, Chelsea dey slow for decisions about their pricy striker Jackson. Dem no rush to push am out of the club, fit be say dem dey hold nerves because dem don see interest from different Premier League clubs. Aston Villa and Newcastle dey circle around as well, but dem gats fit Chelsea’s demand first.
Still dey vex about their financial situation, Chelsea gats move smart. Dem need sales to meet UEFA agreement wey say dem gats get positive transfer balance to register new boys for Champions League. And with Jackson yarning plenty prospects, e dey clear say dem go need to act fast.
But the question be: who go land this Nigerian-born striker? Chelsea gats balance their books but at the same time, dem no wan strengthen rival teams. Naija wahala, we no dey see road!
Next week go dey busy for Stamford Bridge as the transfer deadline dey approach. Expect plenty drama as clubs dey push to grab their own piece of the pie before everything close. This football market fit run like a typical market day for Lagos, fast and full of surprises!
