Chelsea will step up their attempts to sign the Brighton midfielder, Moisés Caicedo, and the Villarreal striker Nicolas Jackson this week.
Jackson, a 21-year-old striker, has agreed personal terms and Chelsea are considering whether to trigger his £30m release clause.
The Senegal international failed a medical at Bournemouth in January and has been tracked by Aston Villa and Everton, but Chelsea’s interest has intensified following recent discussions with the player’s camp.
Securing a deal for Jackson would be straightforward if Chelsea pay his release clause, although they could still look to negotiate a lower fee with Villarreal.
