According to the Daily Mirror, Villa coach Emery intends to introduce Chelsea striker Jackson.

Mirror report pointed out that Emery hopes to reunite with Jackson in Villa. The two have worked together in Villarreal before, and the striker is also the target of signings for Manchester United and Newcastle.

Chelsea has been insisting on priced at Jackson of 80 million pounds, and his contract will not expire until 2033. If Villa brings Jackson, it means they have to sell Watkins, which has attracted the attention of Manchester United and Newcastle. Watkins, 29, is eager for new challenges and he is upset by the ongoing transfer rumors.

In addition to Jackson, Emery is also considering other goals, including Leipzig's Belgian striker Oponda, which is asking for about £40 million. But Jackson is Emery's first choice, and he hopes Chelsea can lower the asking price. The Blues have introduced Drapp and Pedro and are about to sign Xavi Simmons.
