Aston Villa wants to revive Nicolas Jackson
Back at Chelsea after his loan spell at Bayern Munich ended, Nicolas Jackson could already be on the move again. The Senegal international is being closely monitored by Aston Villa, who are looking to bolster their attacking options.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Birmingham club has made contact with Chelsea to inquire about the player's situation. The main driving force behind the interest is Unai Emery, who knows Jackson well, having given him his first break at Villarreal. Bayern Munich, who had a purchase option, decided not to keep the 25-year-old striker. This decision now opens the door for a permanent return to the Premier League.
Having scored 30 goals and provided 12 assists in 81 appearances for Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson remains a highly sought-after striker on the market. A move to Aston Villa would see him reunite with a coach who trusts him and could fully reignite his career.
