Tottenham were looking for replacements for Jackson, but!

Tottenham Hotspur were very interested in signing Bournemouth's young French striker Eli Junior Kroupi, but the player's recent injury has thwarted the North London club's ambitions, and they have begun looking for potential replacements, including Senegalese striker Nicholas Jackson.

Tottenham are not having a simple battle to sign Jackson, but the team's interest in the player is currently under great pressure due to a serious move by Aston Villa to try to sign him, knowing that Unai Emery worked with the player at Villarreal and knows what technical abilities he possesses.

Aston Villa are the real contenders to sign Nicholas Jackson

Unai Emery is the one who is pressuring the Avlanas management to sign the Senegalese striker. During the player's journey in the Premier League, he has scored 24 goals and provided 10 assists in 65 matches, a number that can certainly improve under a coach who knows very well the player's abilities.

The serious relationship between the two clubs, Aston Villa and Chelsea, especially in this current market, is what could give Aston Villa an advantage over any other club in acquiring Newell's Jackson, according to Yahoo Sports.
