So far, it has been a calm summer for Aston Villa, but it should change during the remaining weeks of the transfer window. The imminent sale of Jacob Ramsey in Newcastle should present possibilities for signatures, and an area that could be addressed is the attacker.
Aston Villa has not yet signed a replacement for Jhon Duran after his January move to Al-Nassr, and with Ollie Watkins having also been linked to a move, a new new number is certainly necessary for the team of Unai Emery. And a player who was linked to a move to Villa Park is Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea is open to the sale of Jackson this summer, and although Newcastle is also in the race, the 24 -year -old could be planned for Aston Villa.
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson wants to join Aston Villa
According to Football Insider, Jackson told his friends that he wanted to join Aston Villa this summer, and the Midlands Club would now be ahead of Newcastle in the race to ensure his signature. He would be very passionate about a meeting with Emery, who was his manager for a while at the Liga Side Villarreal.
Jackson has undoubtedly fought in Chelsea in the past two years, but the signs are there that he is a talented attacker. Working under Emery again could allow him to launch his career in the Premier League, and there would certainly be less pressure on him compared to being in Stamford Bridge.
It remains to be seen if Aston Villa makes a concrete effort to sign Jackson this summer, but it would be a highest signature. In addition to covering Watkins, he can also play on the left wing – which will be necessary since Ramsey heads for Newcastle.
