Since being taken over by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, there have often been reports about Chelsea being interested in some sort of swap deal.

Of course, swap deals in football do not happen too often and when they do, rarely does everyone benefit. However, Chelsea could be about to do a trade that leaves everyone feeling satisfied.

The Blues have been busy this summer, signing the likes of Joao Pedro, Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens. Pedro has hit the ground running, scoring three goals at this year’s Club World Cup.

Chelsea’s transfer business, though, does not appear to be over as they weigh up bringing in another winger.

Nicolas Jackson and Alejandro Garnacho swap deal possible

Manchester United star Alejandro Garnacho is one wide man who is currently being linked with a move to west London.

It has been reported that United could sell Garnacho for less than £50m this summer, but some kind of swap deal with Chelsea also does not appear to be out of the question.

It is thought that a swap deal involving Garnacho and Nicolas Jackson could take place during this transfer window, with United interested in Chelsea’s Senegal international.

The Blues have already strengthened their left flank by bringing in Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. However, there has always been a belief that Chelsea could sign Garnacho on top of the England Under-21 international.

Jackson-Garnacho swap could benefit everyone

All things considered, Jackson moving to United and Garnacho joining Chelsea could work out well for all parties.

United land a Rasmus Hojlund upgrade, while Jackson gets to start regularly under Ruben Amorim. As for Chelsea and Garnacho, that could also be a good match.

The Blues clearly want another winger and Garnacho fits the profile they want, being just 21 years of age. It has also been claimed that Garnacho wants to join Chelsea.

Neither player is the finished article yet, so not every supporter at United and Chelsea will be on board. But ultimately, there is logic behind a Jackson and Garnacho swap deal.
