Aston Villa is reportedly continuing discussions for a potential transfer of Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson. The Senegal international has been mentioned in conversations concerning the potential £117 million sale of Morgan Rogers, who began his medical examination on Monday.
A transfer involving both Rogers and Jackson was previously discussed a year ago, and Jackson is familiar to Villa manager Unai Emery. Villa is also exploring other player options from Chelsea, as the London club is understood to be looking to offload several players while Xabi Alonso reconfigures his squad.
Another player previously linked with Villa, Alejandro Garnacho, is reportedly attracting interest from Roma. Reports also indicate that Benoit Badiashile is available, and while Tosin Adarabioyo has admirers, he remains part of Alonso's plans. Offers have reportedly been made for Trevoh Chalobah by Como.
In other transfer news, Aston Villa left-back Lucas Digne is undergoing his medical with Paris Saint-Germain for an estimated £8.5 million move. Villa is also maintaining talks with AC Milan regarding Pervis Estupiñán and has been in negotiations with Flamengo for Emerson Royal. Hull City is continuing discussions regarding figures for Leon Bailey.
Goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez is likely to remain with Aston Villa, despite reported interest from Juventus. The Italian club has not yet submitted a formal bid for the 33-year-old Argentine international, prompting them to explore alternatives such as Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham.
