Liverpool could make INCREDIBLE Chelsea transfer

Liverpool could potentially make an incredible transfer and sign a current Chelsea star.

We've seen this before. The route from a 'failed' Chelsea player to Anfield is well-trodden and very successful.

Diogo Jota: Thank you

Over the years, we've seen the likes of Glen Johnson excel at Liverpool after coming through the ranks at Stamford Bridge. Daniel Sturridge established himself as one of the best strikers in the league after joining Liverpool from Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah was once considered a Premier League flop at Chelsea and became one of the best players in the world at Liverpool, and probably one of the best players of all time to ever play for the club.

The latest former Chelsea player Liverpool are reaping the rewards of signing is Rio Ngumoha, who at 16-years-old already looks like a very special prospect.

He could be mentioned in the same breath as Sturridge and Salah in years to come. But he might not be the only one. There could be another player on Richard Hughes' radar this summer.

It has been well reported now that Liverpool are looking to bring in a striker this summer. This is the no.1 priority of Hughes as he looks to bolster the club's current options.

The main goal for Liverpool is to sign Alexander Isak, who seems like the perfect choice and someone who would slot in perfectly alongside Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah.

But if Isak doesn't get done, David Ornstein writing in The Athletic has mentioned a few alternative names. Among them there has been a new name added to the list in Nicolas Jackson.

According to Ornstein, Hughes was a fan of Jackson while at Bournemouth and while he isn't necessarily a massively realistic candidate, there is a chance for him to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

That's because Chelsea have brought in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, which has cast doubt into the future of Jackson.

So, there is a chance Liverpool could make a move for the Senegalese international in what could simply be an incredible move.

Not because Jackson is a sensational player but because it would be an incredibly audacious and bold transfer.

He's not a proven goal-scorer, and he's not quite hit the ground running at Chelsea. The fact that he would be signed from the club's rivals would also mean Chelsea would try to extort a lot of money from the Reds in order to part ways with Jackson.

The chances are Liverpool would have to overpay to sign a player with a lot of question marks.

Yet, based on the track record of Chelsea 'flops' at Anfield if that's the decision Liverpool make, you'd back Jackson to succeed. Although for now this does feel like a move that Liverpool will only make if they are desperate.

But it is one to keep an eye on. Jackson could very well be on the move this summer and there is no guarantee the Reds will sign Isak, so if they miss out on the Swede, the Chelsea star will undoubtedly become an option.
