AdminAston Villa are closing in on another major attacking addition, with Nicolas Jackson undergoing his medical with the club today as the final stages of the transfer move forward.
The Chelsea striker has emerged as Villa’s preferred option as Unai Emery looks to strengthen his forward line ahead of the new season.
With Ollie Watkins leaving the club, Villa have been working quickly to bring in another proven striker capable of leading the attack.
Jackson’s medical represents a significant step towards completing the move, with the player now expected to finalise the necessary formalities before the transfer can be officially announced.
The Birmingham club have been negotiating with Chelsea over a deal and appear to have made considerable progress in recent days.
The 25-year-old forward has already attracted plenty of attention during his time in the Premier League, combining pace, movement and physical strength with an ability to play across the frontline.
For Villa supporters, his arrival would provide a timely boost after the departure of Watkins, while also giving Emery another attacking option as the club prepares for a demanding campaign.
If everything goes according to plan, Jackson could soon be unveiled as Aston Villa’s latest signing, bringing an end to a transfer story that has gathered serious momentum this week.
