Aston Villa Pursues Chelsea Duo Nkunku, Jackson Amid Bayern Competition

Aston Villa is actively pursuing Chelsea forwards Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson as part of their efforts to bolster their attacking options before the end of the summer transfer window. Nkunku, who has struggled with injuries and competition for playing time at Chelsea, has been informed by Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca that he is not in the club’s plans for the season and is free to find a new club. Villa have made contact with Chelsea regarding Nkunku’s potential transfer and are aware of the conditions required to secure his signing, facing competition from Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig. Meanwhile, Villa’s interest in Jackson has intensified as the striker looks for a move after losing his place in the team. The club is also exploring a possible deal for Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain. Chelsea is motivated to sell both Nkunku and Jackson to free up funds for future signings, and Aston Villa’s manager Unai Emery, who has a strong relationship with Jackson, is leading the recruitment efforts.
