Aston Villa are continuing to discuss a proposed deal for Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Daily Mail Sport reported on Saturday that Jackson has come up in conversation during negotiations over Morgan Rogers’ \u00a3117million sale.<\/p>\n
A proposed transfer for Rogers, who started his Chelsea medical today, and Jackson was discussed a year ago and the Senegal international is well known to Villa boss Unai Emery. <\/p>\n
Other Chelsea players are also under discussion at Villa. They are well aware that Chelsea are looking to sell a number of players this window as Xabi Alonso shapes his squad accordingly.<\/p>\n
Alejandro Garnacho was one name mentioned who Villa have looked at previously though he is hoping Roma step up their interest.<\/p>\n

Nicolas Jackson went to the World Cup with Senegal and spent last season on loan at Bayern, where he scored eight league goals<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Benoit Badiashile is available while Tosin Adarabioyo has admirers but is part of Alonso’s plans. Trevoh Chalobah is the subject of offers from Como.<\/p>\n
Villa left back Lucas Digne is having his medical with Paris Saint-Germain today ahead of his \u00a38.5m move.<\/p>\n
Villa are maintaining talks with AC Milan for Pervis Estupinan’s transfer and have been in negotiations with Flamengo for Emerson Royal.<\/p>\n
Hull City are continuing talks over the figures for Leon Bailey.<\/p>\n
However, Emiliano Martinez looks likely to stay despite Juventus interest. Villa have yet to receive a formal bid for the Argentina No1 with the Italians so far reluctant to bid big for the 33-year-old, hence the reason they have explored alternatives such as Spurs’s Guglielmo Vicario.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
