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 confided in friends about his eagerness to join Aston Villa this summer, sources close to the player have revealed to Football Insider. Both Aston Villa and Newcastle United have expressed interest in signing the talented 24-year-old striker, but Villa is currently holding a commanding lead in the race to secure his services.
The Midlands giants’ advantageous position can be attributed to Jackson’s desire to reunite with Unai Emery, with whom he forged a strong working relationship during their successful stint at Villarreal. Emery, who brought Jackson to Villa Park on loan in the January transfer window, is reportedly a huge admirer of the player’s abilities and is keen to bring him back to the club on a permanent basis.
However, despite Villa’s strong interest, the club is unlikely to meet Chelsea’s valuation of Jackson. Instead, Villa is believed to value the player at around £60m, a figure that may spark intense negotiations between the two clubs.
Talks between the relevant parties are reportedly gaining momentum, with sources suggesting that discussions are progressing well. Jackson’s potential reunion with Emery at Villa Park would be a masterstroke, given their proven track record of success. The player’s desire to work with Emery again could be a decisive factor in his decision-making process.
As the transfer saga unfolds, 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 prove beneficial for both the player and the club, and Villa’s interest in Jackson could potentially lead to a deal being finalized in the coming weeks. With Emery’s enthusiasm for the player and Jackson’s desire to work with him again, the prospects of a successful transfer look increasingly promising.
