A replacement for Jackson. Chelsea ready to let striker go if they sign Konrad Harder

London’s Chelsea are searching for a way out of their current striker dilemma. Delap is sidelined with injury, while Jackson is pressing for a move to Bayern. It seems the Blues may have found a solution.

Details: According to journalist David Ornstein, Chelsea are considering selling Nicolas Jackson to Bayern outright, rather than sending him out on loan. Should that happen, Chelsea plan to sign young Sporting striker, Dane Konrad Harder, in the final hours of the transfer window.
