Nicolas Jackson wants to stay at Chelsea amid Villa interest

Summary

Nicolas Jackson aims to remain at Chelsea and compete for a role under manager Xabi Alonso. Despite interest from Aston Villa and another unnamed Spanish club, Jackson prefers to continue his career in West London. His recent experiences during the Asian tour have bolstered his confidence in contributing to Chelsea's goals. However, with five strikers currently on Chelsea's roster, including Joao Pedro, the club is open to selling Jackson for £65 million. Aston Villa, looking to replace Morgan Rogers after his £117 million move to Chelsea, sees Jackson as a potential target.
