Enza Maresce The team led early through Noni Madueke, and City’s debutant Abdukodir Khusanov made a expensive mistake and brought a 1-0 to Chelsea. However, the goals of Josko Guardiol, Erling Haalanda and Phil Fodena have secured all three points.
Blues had 43% of the match possessioncreating three great opportunities from his ten blows. However, their inability to complete their chances after led 1-0 cost them, and City equalized before half-time and took the lead in the second half.
Chelsea has been searching for the market for some time in search of attackers’ opportunities, trying to ensure the competition Nicolas Jackson, and this bad form could accelerate these plans, whether the opportunity arose in the last week of the January window.
Chelsea is looking for the upgrade of Nicolas Jackson
According to they occur from a caught offside This week Chelsea faces a new competition for signing Jhon Duran making new contacts with Aston Villa earlier this week.
The report states that the French DIV PSG is now in the race and is ready to pay £ 59 million for a player that Villans appreciate at around £ 76m. The controversial point for Bluese is that Ligue 1 also gladly offers players in the contract.

Comparing the metrics of both attackers this season, you can see Jackson contributes to all the stages of the game, helping to progress through your ability to wear, performing key additions and creating blows for yourself and others.
In the meantime, Duran is much more focused on the box, wins in multiple air duels, scores more often, takes more blows and ends on a higher piston (0.20 goals/ratio of shots compared to 0.16).
Scout for talents Jacek Kulig stated that a young striker is “emerging monster” And the 21-year-old has already shown by his limited minutes that he can influence the games, and now there are many elite European clubs sniffing around his signature.
In many games this season, Chelsea took the lead and got the opportunity to increase his lead, perhaps placing a match beyond the reach of his opponent, but the lack of clinical finals prevented them from doing so, so they lost points on a lot of opportunities.
Giving Jackson a little competition in this department could greatly help solve the problem, not only by giving Mareci the second option, but also someone who could push him to be better.
So far this season he has only competed with Christopher Nkunku in the attack, which, despite a good result, is scored 13 times in 29 appearancesNot a natural number nine, who rather plays behind the attacker, similar to Cole Palmer.
Bringing a more dominant number nine to the club would allow Maresci to make Jackson more willing, making decisions based on the game plan and encourage strong competition in advance, which draws the best from both players.
Who could Jhon Duran be improved in Chelsea
Not only would Duran signing to help Jackson push and add the clinical finish of the team, but it could also bring another dynamics on the side, which enables wing players such as Pedro Net to progress, using their full creative tool for the maximum effect.
Since arriving from Wolves in the summer for a A fee of around £ 54 millionThere is a net made 26 appearancesHalting three goals, five assists and a total of 1440 minutes. However, the 24-year-old often put excellent stabs in the frame, worth the last touch to assign assistance, but lacked a threat to the frame to materialize it.
By adding Duran, who wins three air duels to 90, it would bring confidence to winged attackers to insert more into the penalty area, knowing that they have a central striker ready to attack the ball in those moments, whether it gives the final touch or removal of the defender and the opening of the space For the arrival of others, such as midfielder.
Jadon Sancho is another one to profit from this, and by unlocking these creative wingers to their full potential, these could bring them more goals, since the teams want to cut off their crosses, showing them inside and giving them the best possible opportunities for a shot . .
