**Nicolas Jackson** spoke to the media about his happiness at signing for **[Aston Villa](/en/data/aston-villa/)** from **Chelsea**.
·**‘I’m very happy to be here and working for him again’**
----------------------------------------------------------
**Unai Emery** worked with Jackson when he moved from Senegal to Spain, breaking through into the first team as the Basque boss was about to move to **Villa Park**. The 25-year-old did not experience the most conducive environment at **Stamford Bridge**, so he is grateful to rekindle an old relationship.
_“He (Emery) was a big factor when I arrived in Spain. He’s been very important to me since the beginning; he’s always asking about my family._
_“He developed me in_ **_Villarreal_**_, and I’m very happy to be here and working for him again. We will work and try to push together as always, trying to achieve things together like we did in_ **_Villarreal_**_._
_“Hopefully this year we will achieve many things, and for many more years to come as well._
_“With the coach, I’ve known him for a long time. With him calling me and from talking to him, he explained the project to me. I like the project so much, and that’s why I’m here. Hopefully we can do a lot of things together.”_
Apart from Emery, Jackson is also familiar with **Leon Goretzka** from his year-long loan at **Bayern Munich**, **Ian Maatsen** at **Chelsea**, and **Pau Torres** from his stint with the _Yellow Submarine_.
The forward feels ready to integrate quickly into a group that is aspiring for more silverware.
_“Hopefully we can win many games and trophies as well because that’s what every player wants to do. I want to score a lot of goals for the team as well. Hopefully we achieve that and win trophies._
_“I will bring my spirit, fighting for the badge, fighting for the coach, as I always do. That’s what I want to bring, and to score some goals as well. I’m very happy to be here._
_“I’m very happy because it’s a massive club. I’ve been looking forward to joining here for a few years. I’m very happy that I’m here finally. I’m ready to work.”_
