Why Aston Villa will struggle to complete Nicolas Jackson transfer despite Unai Emery's interest in reunion with unwanted Chelsea striker

Aston Villa will continue to pursue a move for unwanted Chelsea attacker Nicolas Jackson, despite the club facing financial restrictions.

• Emery is a big fan of Jackson
• Chelsea want a fee in region of £60 million ($81m)
• Move unlikely due to financial restrictions

WHAT HAPPENED?
Villa boss Unai Emery remains hopeful of adding attacking options this summer, but will have to create a payment package to work around the limitations. This would be constructed by splitting the fee to be paid over an as yet undecided number of seasons. Emery, who has previously worked with Jackson during their time at Villarreal, faces competition from Newcastle and clubs in Italy, according to The Telegraph.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Jackson was the second top-scorer for Chelsea last season, but now faces stiff competition for his place from new signings Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. Villa have seen Jacob Ramsey and Leon Bailey leave this summer, but that still doesn’t free up enough cash for them to spend big on Jackson. The one piece of good news for Emery is the wages. Jackson is on £100,000 per week, which would sit within Villa's wage structure.

WHAT EMERY SAID
Last year, Emery said of Jackson: “He was starting the pre-season with the Under 21s and when he was progressively coming to train with us, he was showing his potential. We worked during the one year on his skill, he improved his understanding better, how he could exploit his potential. And playing minutes and getting experiences was the next step.But his attitude as well was fantastic. He was always learning. He was always demanding to train more, to be focused. He was also being a professional every day out of training sessions at home because he was focused on football like the first priority of his life."

WHAT NEXT FOR JACKSON?
It’s decision time for Jackson. He has plenty of admirers, but Chelsea are reluctant to let him go out on loan, so Villa may win the race. And with the World Cup on the horizon, he’ll be keen to have his future wrapped up ASAP.

Strasbourg are still interested in Brighton striker Julio Enciso.

With that wording it can't be. The translation is something like, " Chelsea are thinking about thinking about attempting to sign a player." 🙁

Aston Villa want a loan with an obligation to buy for Jackson.

Jackson likes the idea. [@edu17burgos]

If we can sign Xavi without any PSR worry wouldn't mind a loan and obligation to buy.

Clubs interested in Nicolas Jackson are being told a loan with obligation may be possible for £10m loan fee.

Welcome to Chelsea. New drama every day.

He can't be serious. I've always supported him, but he played like 50 games in 3 years and act like this?

Bro, come back on the pitch, help the team. After that, you can act like this

[Pizy 18,922]

Couldn’t really care less about Fofana, tbh. He may as well not even exist he’s injured so often.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,538]

I wish Chelsea fc could delete him so easily.

Highest paid sicknote in British history.

I just don't see how we balance the books for UEFA with Simons & Garnacho, that's like 100 million

There would have to be solid sales (Veiga, Nkunku).  Jackson going on a loan with obligation to buy doesn't really help as we would only get loan fee this season, and the sale profit next season.

Im guessing he's already agreed to move on and not protesting?

[Mário César 1,275]

yes I think he is moving and this is the best for him and for the club.

goodluck and goodbye. A truly awful signing - not because his quality but because his injury record

[JFKvsNixon 54]

There may be another layer to Fofana. I've heard it suggested on a podcast that due to him not being part of the European squad last year, we have to cover his value with outgoings to be able to add him to the squad. It's the same with Lavia.

[Pizy 18,922]

Havertz injured for Arse. Sounds like it could be serious since Ornstein says they’re now in the market for a new forward.

Could we suddenly have new potential suitors for Nkunku & Jackson? Would it even be wise to send an actual good player to them if so?
