Aston Villa prepares offer for Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson valued at £65m

Summary

Aston Villa is reportedly set to make a formal offer for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who is valued at £65 million. The move comes as Villa seeks to enhance their attacking options amid uncertainty surrounding forward Ollie Watkins, who has attracted interest from Al-Hilal. Jackson is also on the radar of Atlético Madrid, but they prefer a loan deal, which Chelsea is not considering. As the transfer window nears its end, Villa is seen as the most likely club to pursue a permanent transfer for Jackson.
