Chelsea continues to be in the news in terms of player acquisitions in this summer’s transfer window.
Having signed Marco Palestra and Morgan Rodgers earlier in the summer, they look to further improve their quality with the arrival of Maxence Lacroix this week. Fabrizio Romano today gave his approval to the move, saying, “Let’s give it a try.”
Jackson and Villa seem like the perfect partnership for both sides
But there has to be a balance between everything that comes in and what goes out, and today also brought news that a move is on the horizon that will see the Blues reap big money. According to TeamTalk, Aston Villa are preparing to break the transfer record by signing Jackson for a fee of more than £60 million.
Although a little erratic, the Senegalese star showed in his first spell at Chelsea that he can become a consistent goalscorer in the Premier League. Villa manager Unai Emery also knows him well, having helped him make his breakthrough at Villarreal.
After spending a season on loan at Bayern Munich last year, Jackson has been looking for a team where he can be a central figure in attack, and up-and-coming Aston Villa, who play in the Champions League, could provide just that.
The paper also speculates that Jackson’s arrival would pave the way for Ollie Watkins to leave the club, but Villa would rather keep him.
