After spending last season on loan at Bayern Munich, Nicolas Jackson has returned to Chelsea. However, it appears there's no place for the forward in the London club's plans, with Aston Villa reportedly showing interest.
The 25-year-old is also not part of new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso's vision. Consequently, the club is looking for a way to offload him, potentially paving his way to Aston Villa. According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, negotiations between the parties are ongoing as they seek a satisfactory resolution.
While the London club prefers a permanent transfer, another loan spell for the striker isn't out of the question. Having faced the harsh reality at Stamford Bridge, the Senegalese footballer could prove to be a fantastic acquisition for the Birmingham-based club.
