Aston Villa have been linked with a move to sign Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson in the summer transfer window, and Fabrizio Romano has now provided an update on the situation.
Jackson’s future at Chelsea appears to be in doubt, with the Blues willing to send him on loan last season.
Senegalese international spent the previous campaign on loan at Bayern Munich, but he’s now returned to Chelsea ahead of the 26-27 season.
It remains to be seen where Jackson will end up, but he has been linked with a move to Aston Villa this summer.
Jackson and Unai Emery worked together during their time at Villarreal, and the Villa boss is keen on a reunion heading into the new campaign.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Aston Villa remain interested in signing Chelsea forward Jackson in the summer transfer window, but reports about a possible loan are inaccurate.
Aston Villa already have Alejandro Garnacho signed on loan from Chelsea, meaning if they want to bring Jackson to the club, it will have to be on a permanent deal.
You are only allowed one loan signing from each Premier League club, meaning any reports of a possible loan deal are inaccurate.
It’s been an incredibly busy summer window for Aston Villa in terms of both incomings and outgoings.
The Midlands club have sold both Morgan Rogers and Youri Tielemans, leaving two huge holes in their squad.
