Aston Villa are actively keeping a close watch on the situation of Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.Jackson, who joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023,

Jacob Ramsey says he has lived his "dream" being able to play for Aston Villa after leaving the club to join Newcastle. The 24-year-old posted an emotional farewell to his boyhood and fans on social media after completing a £40m move to St James' Park over the weekend.

One player who didn’t feature against Crystal Palace – and in fact wasn’t even on the bench – was last seasons’ starting striker Nicolas Jackson. The forward has been heavily linked with moves away since the arrival of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap effectively bumped him down to third choice striker.

The Magpies have reportedly turned to Jackson as an alternative to Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko as they are scouring the market for a replacement for Alexander Isak, who remains intent on a move to Premier League rivals Liverpool.

Fundamentally, Ramsey’s departure is a representation of how Villa’s dreams are being limited or, at the very least, curbed. The 24-year-old was an asset Villa had to sell as a result of various financial restrictions, all blessed with their own acronym.

Monday’s reports claim that Roma are in the final stages of negotiations with Aston Villa over a deal for Jamaica international Leon Bailey for a total fee of around €25m.

Newcastle couldn't find a winner as Villa ended the game with 10 players and will be much happier with the point.

A number of Villa players took to social media to send well wishes to Jacob Ramsey after he completed his move to Newcastle United. Villa sold the 24-year-old for £39 million, with a possible £5m in add-ons to follow.
