Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea in a total package worth £65m, according to multiple reports.
The fee several includes add-ons, with The Athletic reporting that the initial fee for the striker is £47.5m.
Jackson, 25, spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich and Chelsea were keen to sell the striker this summer.
Jackson is set to replace Ollie Watkins at Villa Park, with the England striker set to sign for Al Hilal, while Unai Emery will reunite with a striker he worked with at Villarreal.
Jackson was signed by Chelsea from Villarreal for £32m in 2023, signing an eight-year contract, so the Blues are set to make a profit.
