Nicolas Jackson will join Chelsea on an EIGHT-YEAR contract.
The Villarreal attacker passed a Blues medical on Sunday and an announcement is expected imminently.
Jackson, in keeping with Chelsea's contract policy, has agreed terms on an eight-year deal. The move will keep the Senegal international within Chelsea's Financial Fair Player (FFP) limits.
The striker, who can also play on the wing, joins Chelsea for 32m.
Chelsea have agreed to pay higher than Jackson's 30m buyout clause so they can stagger the payment of the fee to also fit FFP demands.
