Aston Villa have been heavily linked with making a move to acquire Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson’s signature. The 24-year-old, who arrived at Stamford Bridge from La Liga side Villarreal in 2023, is reportedly ready to part ways with the Blues and has been of interest to some clubs, including Bayern Munich and AC Milan, among others.

Nicolas Jackson is expected to leave Chelsea this summer transfer window, with Newcastle United one of several clubs credited with an interest in the striker.

Newcastle United continue to hold a strong interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, according to The Athletic. The 25-year-old has emerged as one of Newcastle’s targets for the centre-forward position this summer.

Newcastle United face Aston Villa in a Premier League match on Saturday, August 16, 2025 (8/16/25) at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
