Transfer: Chelsea weigh Aston Villa’s bid for Nicolas Jackson

Chelsea are on the verge of selling their striker Nicolas Jackson to Aston Villa.

According to Santi Aouna of Footmercato, Aston Villa have submitted an offer of around €70m, including bonuses, for Jackson.

The report added that the Blues are close to accepting the proposal, which could prove to be one of their biggest of the summer.

This is coming after a long period of negotiation between the two Premier League clubs.

Jackson spent last season on loan at Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

He is expected to leave Xabi Alonso’s side before the summer transfer window closes next week.
