On loan from Chelsea to Bayern Munich, Nicolas Jackson could be on the move again this summer. The Bavarian club doesn't seem convinced about keeping him permanently, despite a purchase option included in the deal.

With 5 goals and 1 assist in 22 matches, the Senegalese striker hasn't fully managed to make his mark in Germany. This situation has reignited speculation about his future. According to British media, Aston Villa FC is seriously interested in bringing him in.

Manager Unai Emery is eager to bring him in to bolster his attack next season. The two know each other well from their time together at Villarreal CF. However, competition is fierce. AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur FC are also monitoring the situation closely. Still under contract with Chelsea until 2033, Jackson won't be an easy signing. This summer promises to be pivotal for his future.
