It is set to be a busy summer at Aston Villa.
Tuning to widespread reportsThe Villans Could Be Forced to Sell A Key Player Before 30 June, Which is only ten days away now, to avoid breaching the Premier league‘S Profit and Sustainability Rules.
This Issue was only exacerbated by the fact Unai Emery‘s team miss out we Champions League Qualification on the final day, forced to settle for a significantly less lucrative spot in the Europa League.
So, with a claret and blue stalwart or Two potentialy on their way out of villa park, has emery already identified a dream replacement?
With Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio Heading Back to their Parent Clubs at the End of Their Loan Spells in the Midlands, Villa Clearly Need to Strengthen Their Forward Line.
Well, According to report by GivemesportAston Villa Are ‘Eyeing’ A Move to Sign 32m Chelsea striker Nicolas JacksonShould the Senegalese International Become Available This Summer.
It’s revealed that villa ‘Are Ready to Enter discussions’ Over What It Would Take to Tempt the Forward Away from Stamford Bridge if they decide to transfer-list Him.
The blues have already signed liam delap for £ 30m Earlier This Summer, Also Purportedly interested in Many Other Center-Forwards, Including, Most -notBly, Hugo Ekitike, Suggesting Jackson Could Get Squeeze Out.
Manager Enzo Maresca has Always Been Full of Praise For his striker, Labelling Him “Fantastic” and “very important”, but the Sheer Churn at Chelsea in Recent Years Means No One’s Future at Stamford Bridge is certain.
SO, COULD He Soon Be Swapping West London for the West Midlands?
Aston Villa Sold Jhon Durán To al-nassr For a reported fee of £ 71m in January, with rastford and asensio ostensibly coming in as the Colombian’s replacements, Albeit Both Only on Loan, and it remains to be if if they will return to villa park.
Durán arrived from Chicago Fire for Around £ 16m In January 2023and was absolutely on fire during the first half of this season, scoring 12 Goals in 29 Appearances, Thereby Averaging A Goal Every 87 minutes, Before Being Flipped for a Massive Profit, A Business Model Villa Would Surely Like To Replicate Going Forward.
NEITHER RASHFORD NOR ASENSIO FAVOUR PLAYING AS A CENTRAL STRIKER, LEAVING Ollie Watkins As the Only Player for that position at the Club Right Now, and Even He is itching for a move away this summer, According to Football Insider.
Suggest reports Arsenal are still very much interested in watkins and villa could be look to cash in the 29-yy-oar to help comply with psr.
SO, WOULD Jackson be a shrewd replacement? Well, Let’s Assess How The Duo Compared This Season.

As the Table Shows, Watkins and Jackson’s Statistics Were Broadly Very Similar Throughout Last Season, With the Chelsea Striker Scring Just Four Fewer Goals in Around 1,000 Fewer Minutes, Larly Due to the Fact He Spent Around Two Months On the Sidelines due to a hamstring insjury Between february and April.
The Senegalese Star Though, Did Come Out On Top When It Comes To Goals-Per-90, As Well As A Higher Shots On Target Percentage and Shot-Creating Actions-Per-90, While Régistering More Touches-Per-90 and Squandering Fewer Opta-Defined Big Chances.
Moe Adikwu of Breaking the Lines Believes that jackson has become a ‘Proper Center-Forward’ At Chelsea, Adding that he ‘Offers a lot More Than Goals’, Praising His Work-Rate, Link-Up Play and Ability to Hold Up the Ball While Journalist Rahman Osman Hasman Has Praised Hisspecial”Ability.
Thus, given that watchins is 29 and jackson is 23, if villa could secure a big fee for the form and then snap up the latter, that would safely be shrewd business for a club operating under tight financial constraints.
