Nicolas Jackson Completes Move From Chelsea to Aston Villa for Club-Record £65m
The Senegal striker joins after Villa lost key attackers and paid a reported 47.5 million pounds, British media said.
- On Friday, Aston Villa announced the permanent signing of Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea to bolster its depleted frontline following high-profile departures.
- Jackson arrives as a direct replacement for Ollie Watkins, whose £50m move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal is being finalized by manager Unai Emery.
- The move reunites Jackson with Unai Emery, who managed him at LaLiga side Villarreal; Villa reportedly paid an initial 47.5 million pounds with 17.5 million in add-ons.
- Watkins' departure follows his refusal to play in the 4-0 loss to Brighton last week, though Emery said, "I can tell you his commitment and his behaviour was fantastic."
- Due to financial regulations, Villa has also offloaded Morgan Rogers, Ezri Konsa, and Youri Tielemans, leaving the club facing a significant rebuild before hosting Arsenal on Monday.
