        • Better than Ramsey: Aston Villa registers interest for £40 million “superstar”

Aston Villa has done a lot of work before the Premier League season begins next month, with a home tie against Newcastle United.

Emiliano Martinez is reportedly keen to travel to Manchester United, but Jacob Ramsey is gaining interest from Nottingham Forest. However, as PSR concerns are in the past, many new signatures could soon arrive through the door.

Adding a confidence-enhancing offense seems like a priority, especially when Ollie Watkins leaves the building by joining Martinez as another first team.

Aston Villa is considering a £60 million striker move

Watkins appears to have a wealth of embarrassment when it comes to whom Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly keen to add England International to their sides, making him seem richly embarrassing when it comes to whom he can choose as the next club to Villa.

Losing Watkins is a noticeable blow, but Villa could begin to repair the depleted attacks by adding reported target Alejandro Garnacho to the camp from the aforementioned Red Devil.

An update from journalist Ben Jacobs shows Villa running this summer to land Hot and Cold striker Nicholas Jackson.

It’s clear that Chelsea won’t push the former Villerial attacker out the door despite his hit-and-miss finishing ability, but they’ll consider bidding if some are approaching.

How Jackson becomes the next Duran in the Villa

It would be an all-powerful gamble at the end of the villa to spend some important dollars on such inconsistent performers, but there are similarities in the way they arrived in the country, as well as their playing style.

Certainly, the villain took the risk in January 2023 when he landed John Duran for £18 million.

After all, Duran hasn’t jumped into the Chicago Fire’s most amazing numbered English game. He only scored eight goals from his 28 appearances at Windy City.

However, he quickly became a favorite for his offensive high octane performance in the West Midlands, culminating in most of Villa’s 20 goals, where Villa scored 12 strikes from just 29 outings last season.

Chelsea bought Jackson for the £32 million mark the same year that the Colombians arrived in England. I knew that he could do more from the age of 24 in his new location.

In fact, Jackson fired around 13 strikes in Spain before embarking on this difficult adventure with the Blues. And he’s been complaining a lot at Stamford Bridge in vain, but he shows that, like Duran, he can be a fatal and impactful presence on his day.

Surprisingly, despite wasting 43 big opportunities in two top flight seasons at Chelsea, Jackson has more strikes next to his name in the Premier League alone than Duran gathers across the Villa Park stint with 24 goals in a 64-league collision.

Nevertheless, as the numbers suggest, there are stylistic similarities between the pairs.

Analyzing the data gives you the feeling that neither of them are particularly involved in playing big spells, registering less than 20 passes per game.

Similarly, both strikers especially grab the ball to acquire players and complete less than one dribble in 90 minutes. Importantly, they both have the ability to play on the shoulders of the last man and have a gangster play style associated with their height. Duran is 6 feet 1 and Jackson is 6 feet 2.

Jackson, 24, may welcome a fresh opportunity at the villa, especially when he embraces Emery’s transformational powers, which worked incredible things like Marcus Rashford last season. He went through an equally challenging time at Manchester United before bouncing off well with the villain, earning four ferocious goals and six assists in the claret and blue.

Moreover, it is even more clear from the Spanish track record with Duran that he will become manager, and he can get more from the scapegoat Jackson, once labelled Senegal International as a “special” talent by journalist Rahman Osman.

Of course, this move could be a pretty backfire if the 24-year-old wasted display has his ugly head behind once more in the West Midlands. But, like Duran, it feels like a shot of being worthy of dark.
