Chelsea slap £65m price tag on Aston Villa target Nicolas Jackson
Aston Villa are interested in signing Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson this summer.
The Blues are willing to sell the 25-year-old but want a £65 million transfer fee, per BBC Sport.
Villa are looking to strengthen their attacking options, with Morgan Rogers poised to make a £117m move to Chelsea.
Finding a replacement for Rogers is not easy, but the Lions believe Jackson could be a good option for them.
The Senegal international mainly plays as a striker but can also operate on either flank.
Jackson is not a clinical finisher but he is highly rated for his blistering pace, work rate and link-up play.
He has scored 30 goals in 81 appearances for Chelsea, and has also played for Villarreal and Bayern Munich.
The Senegalese enjoyed a decent loan campaign at Bayern in 2025-26, notching 11 goals and four assists in 34 games.
The Bavarians had the option to make the move permanent for £56m, but decided against activating the clause.
Chelsea currently have five strikers on their books, including Joao Pedro, Jackson, Liam Delap, Marc Guiu and Emanuel Emegha.
With no Champions League football next season, the club look to offload some of the centre-forwards.
They are also aiming to raise funds to balance their books after committing £117m to seal a move for Rogers.
