Aston Villa looking to sign 23-year-old Chelsea star as Emery eyes attacking additions

Aston Villa are reportedly eyeing a potential move for Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson as they assess their striker options ahead of the 2025/26 season.

According to reliable Chelsea insider Si Phillips, Villa could soon make a formal approach for the Senegalese international, who may be available for transfer under the right conditions.

Unai Emery is said to be keen on strengthening his squad this summer, particularly in attack, amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of current attacker Ollie Watkins.
