Chelsea Flop Striker Nicholas Jackson has left Chelsea to Join this Shocking Premier League Side after being left out of Chelsea squad to face Crystal Palace F.C
Nicolas Jackson has expressed his desire to join Aston Villa this summer, according to sources close to the player. Both Aston Villa and Newcastle United have registered their interest in signing the 24-year-old striker, but Villa is currently in pole position to secure his services.
The reason behind Villa’s advantageous position is Jackson’s preference to reunite with Unai Emery, with whom he developed a strong working relationship during their time at Villarreal. Emery, who signed Jackson on loan in the January transfer window, is reportedly a big fan of the player and is keen to bring him back to Villa Park.
However, despite Villa’s strong interest, it is unlikely that they would be willing to pay a fee that meets Chelsea’s valuation of Jackson. Instead, Villa is believed to value the player at around £60m.
Talks between the relevant parties are reportedly underway and progressing well. Jackson’s potential move to Villa Park would be a reunion with Emery, with whom he has a proven track record of success. The player’s desire to work with Emery again could be a key factor in his decision-making process.
It’s worth noting that Jackson’s current club, Chelsea, may be open to selling him, given that he has one year remaining on his contract. A move away from Stamford Bridge could suit both the player and the club, and Villa’s interest in Jackson could potentially lead to a deal being struck in the coming weeks.
