Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson was linked to a distance from the club during the summer transfer window.
The 24 -year -old will have a hard time for Gametime in Chelsea this season, and he must go into search of regular playing time. Aston Villa and Newcastle United would have recorded their interest in signing the player, according to an Insider football report.
Jackson wants to move Aston Villa
However, the report says that the player informed his friends that he would like to play for Aston Villa. It remains to be seen how the situation is developing. Development will certainly be a blow for Newcastle, which seeks to improve their attack unit. They missed several targets this summer, and it remains to be seen if they can provide the necessary additions before the window is closed.
Newcastle needs a quality attacker
Newcastle wishes to sign Gcalcalo Ramos and Yoane Wissa. It will be interesting to see with whom they meet. They could lose Alexander Isak this summer, and they must properly replace the Swedish international. He clearly said he wanted to leave the club and join Liverpool this summer.
Although Jackson was not a prolific scorer, he is a complete attacker who will help in a creative way and with goals. It could have been a quality acquisition for Newcastle. It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can conclude the agreement. They need another striker to support Ollie Watkins, and the Chelsea star would be the ideal crisis.
The 24 -year -old is well installed in the Premier League. He could have an instant impact at the West Midlands Club.
Jackson is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and Chelsea could ask him for a bonus. It will be a difficult affair to conclude.
