What happened. Chelsea are close to selling Liam Delap to Nottingham Forest for up to £50m, with a medical imminent, and Nicolas Jackson to Aston Villa for £65m.

• Delap's move is more advanced, with medical scheduled.
• Chelsea paid Ipswich £30m for Delap a year ago.
• Jackson's fee would be £65m, with Villa willing to pay.

The sales would raise significant funds for Chelsea to reinvest in the squad.
