Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson is reportedly showing interest in a transfer to Aston Villa. Reports from the Daily Mail suggest the Senegalese player is eager to play once again under manager Unai Emery, who previously coached him at Villarreal.
Talks surrounding Jackson surfaced during recent negotiations between the two clubs regarding Morgan Rogers’ potential £117 million transfer to Chelsea. Aston Villa has maintained a long-standing interest in the attacker, and Emery is looking to bolster his front line before the upcoming season begins.
Although no official deal is finalized, Jackson is reportedly receptive to the move. The forward spent the previous campaign on loan with Bayern Munich, where he secured a Bundesliga title before returning to Chelsea. He remains a potential candidate for departure during the current summer transfer window.
