Chelsea are expecting Aston Villa to submit an offer for Senegal international Nicolas Jackson, with the forward valued at around £65 million.
The 25 year old striker has attracted interest from Villa as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
Chelsea are prepared for an approach and will assess any formal proposal that arrives for Jackson, whose current valuation stands at approximately £65 million.
The Senegal international has been an important part of Chelsea’s attacking setup, but the club could consider his departure should Villa meet their valuation.
An official offer from Aston Villa could therefore lead to further discussions between the two Premier League clubs over the future of the striker.
