Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson is keen on securing a transfer to Premier League side Aston Villa to reunite with his former manager Unai Emery.
The 25-year-old Senegal international spent last season on loan at Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, where he picked up a league winner’s medal. Following his return to Stamford Bridge, Jackson is assessing his options ahead of the new season, with Aston Villa emerging as a strong potential destination.
Part of the Morgan Rogers discussions
Jackson’s potential switch to Villa Park surfaced during negotiations between Chelsea and Aston Villa regarding Morgan Rogers’ high-profile £117 million move to Stamford Bridge.
Emery is a long-standing admirer of the Senegalese forward, having previously overseen his breakthrough during their time together at La Liga side Villarreal. While no official agreement between the two clubs has been finalized, Aston Villa continue to explore options to bolster their frontline, and Jackson remains receptive to making the switch.
