Aston Villa are actively exploring a deal to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, with head coach Unai Emery keen to reunite with the player he previously managed at Villarreal.
Villa has made initial contact and assessed the conditions of a potential transfer, though no formal bid has been submitted yet. Jackson, 24, has told Chelsea he wants to consider his options this window, especially after falling down the pecking order following the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
Jackson was absent from Chelsea’s recent friendlies and served a suspension in their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace. He scored 13 goals in 37 appearances last season but has struggled for consistency and minutes under Mauricio Pochettino.
Sources suggest Chelsea are open to offers and expect movement once the future of Newcastle’s Alexander Isak is resolved, with up to six clubs monitoring Jackson’s situation. Villa’s interest is genuine, but financial constraints may determine whether they can meet Chelsea’s valuation.
