Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Senegalese international Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Football Insider, Nicolas Jackson is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window, and they have set their sights on the Chelsea misfit.
The player is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, but he has struggled for regular opportunities with the Bavarian outfit. The former Villarreal attacker will return to his parent club in the summer, and he needs to sort out his long-term future.
Chelsea invested in a couple of strikers last summer, and Jackson does not have a future at Stamford Bridge. He will not want to sit on the bench at the London club next season. The 24-year-old needs to join a club where he will play regularly.
The opportunity to move to Aston Villa could be ideal for the Senegalese international. The West Midlands outfit need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the 24-year-old could be a useful acquisition.
Jackson move to Aston Villa would be ideal for all parties
Nicolas Jackson is more than just a goalscorer, and he will add creativity in the final third as well. The opportunity to play for the West Midlands club will be exciting for the player as well. Aston Villa are currently pushing for Champions League qualification, and it will be interesting to see if they can finish in the top four.
Furthermore, working with a quality manager like Unai Emery could bring out the best in the player once again. Jackson has shown his quality in La Liga and the Premier League. There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for top teams, and the move to Villa would be ideal for him in the summer. It remains to be seen whether the West Midlands club can secure an agreement with Chelsea.
The Blues will look to get rid of the player in the summer, and they are unlikely to demand a premium for him. The two clubs will be hoping to agree on a reasonable deal. The 24-year-old needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and he will look to sort out his long-term future and focus on his football. He will certainly hope that the two clubs can finalise in agreement as soon as possible.
