Villa close to £65m move for Chelsea's Jackson

Aston Villa are reportedly on the brink of signing Chelsea striker Jackson for a fee of around £65 million.

The forward has spent three seasons with the Blues and is set to become the club’s latest marquee acquisition.

The deal would see him move from Stamford Bridge to Villa Park in the Premier League, where the club hopes to strengthen its attack for the upcoming campaign.

Jackson’s move would bring a new dimension to Villa’s forward line, adding experience from a club that has consistently competed at the top of English football.

The transfer, if completed, would make it one of the most expensive signings in the club’s history.

Villa’s management has expressed confidence that the striker will adapt quickly to the rigors of the Premier League.

Should the deal go through, it would also signal Villa’s ambition to challenge for higher positions in the league table.

The next step will be the finalization of the paperwork and the official announcement by both clubs.
