Transfer: Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson to join Aston Villa on one condition

Aston Villa are expected to make a move for Chelsea striker, Nicolas Jackson, if they sell Ollie Watkins to Al Hilal.

Jackson, who spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich, is valued at £65m by the Blues.

Al Hilal are in talks for Watkins and have had at least one bid rejected by Villa.

Watkins is understood to be keen on the move to Saudi Arabia.

Although Villa don’t want to sell Watkins, Al Hilal are pushing and talks continue.

Atletico Madrid are also one of the other clubs who want Jackson, but they would prefer to do a loan deal.

Chelsea want a permanent transfer after Jackson, who has been frozen out of training by Xabi Alonso.
