Aston Villa are interested in signing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson.
Villa are understood to have explored the conditions of a deal for the 24-year-old, who played under head coach Unai Emery at Villarreal.
Jackson told Chelsea earlier this month that he wants to consider his options during the transfer window. Chelsea signed strikers Joao Pedro and Liam Delap this summer.
Jackson was absent from Chelsea’s squad for friendlies against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan ahead of the Premier League season.
The striker served the final game of a suspension in Chelsea’s first fixture of the season against Crystal Palace.
Jackson scored 13 goals in 37 appearances across all competitions last season, having netted 17 in 44 during his first year at the club.

The only unanswered question remaining: What will the defensive line look like when the regular season begins Sept. 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil?AdvertisementTeair Tart, who re-signed with the Chargers on a one-year deal in March, has looked dominant at times in practice as a pass rusher and run defender.Otito Ogbonnia looks like one of the most improved players on the roster, particularly in his get-off as a pass rusher.Da’Shawn Hand, whom the Chargers signed in free agency, has been one of the team’s top performers in preseason games.

Assim, ele confirmou que não aceitou o convite para um retorno após 6 anos porque o clube não podia bancar as contratações que ele pediu. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADEMotivos de recusa ao SantosSegundo Lucas Musetti, Sampaoli deixou de fechar com o Santos porque o clube negou a contratação de Bakambu e Matheus Jesus. Assim, o argentino confirmou que, durante as conversas, muitos nomes foram debatidos e houve um processo interno.“Identificamos a necessidade de três jogadores que pudessem se encaixar na nossa forma de trabalhar e no nosso estilo.

Could Shohei Ohtani pitch in relief in October? Here’s what it would take
DENVER — Is there a scenario where Shohei Ohtani is pitching in relief for the Los Angeles Dodgers this postseason?“Absolutely,” pitching coach Mark Prior told the Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday morning, though Prior clarified Wednesday afternoon that the discussions the organization has had about it have been limited solely to clarifying the language of the rulebook and Ohtani’s ability to remain in the game as a hitter in such a scenario.AdvertisementMajor League Baseball’s “Ohtani Rule,” which was written for the 2022 season, specifies that a starting pitcher can remain in the game as a designated hitter even after being removed from the game as a pitcher. That does not apply the same way if the pitcher entered in relief; if Ohtani starts a game as a designated hitter and enters the game to pitch, removing him would mean taking […]
Internacional x Flamengo sofre atraso causado por papel picado e revolta torcedores: “Tinha que punir”
Internacional x Flamengo sofreu atraso (Reprodução)Marcando presença em peso no Beira-Rio, a torcida do Internacional acabou atrapalhando o início do embate contra o Flamengo. Devido à “chuva” de papel picado que veio de forma excessiva, a bola não rolou às 21h30 por conta das condições do campo. Neste cenário, o atraso da partida motivou uma série de críticas envolvendo os colorados. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADEPor conta da expectativa ligada ao duelo, a aplicação de uma multa como forma de punir o comportamento da torcida do Internacional ganhou ênfase. Levando em conta a tolerância praticamente zero da Conmebol com atrasos na Libertadores, a tendência é que, de fato, o clube gaúcho enfrente uma sanção financeira.Diante da situação inusitada, a atitude para aumentar o nível da festa foi vista como uma grande falta de responsabilidade.

Skyy Moore trade: Chiefs reportedly send former second-round pick to 49ers, who get much-needed help at WR
Getty Images Skyy Moore is going from one perennial playoff team to another. The Kansas City Chiefs have traded the former second-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers, according to NFL Media. As part of the trade, the two teams will reportedly swap sixth- and seventh-round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft. The trade is a win-win for Moore and the 49ers. Moore gets a fresh start with a playoff contending team, while the 49ers are getting much-needed help at receiver. San Francisco is slated to start the season without wideouts Brandon Aiyuk and Demarcus Robinson. Aiyuk is still recovering from last year's season-ending knee injury while Robinson is suspended three games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Jauan Jennings, the team's second-leading receiver last season, recently suffered a calf injury and has reportedly expressed an interest in being traded if the team doesn't […]
Lionel Messi misses out on Inter Miami’s crucial Leagues Cup clash vs. Tigres: Cause for concern?
Getty Images Facing Tigres in the quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup, Inter Miami are without their talisman, Lionel Messi, who has been left out of the squad after missing training on Tuesday. Wednesday night's critical clash will see one team advance to the final four teams standing in the competition, but Javier Mascherano has needed to be careful with the Argentine after he already missed two matches due to muscular issues. During the weekend, Messi logged 45 minutes facing the Los Angeles Galaxy, picking up a goal and an assist in victory for the Herons, but just four days later, he's out of the squad. It doesn't seem like a time to panic because with the addition of Rodrigo De Paul in midfield, Miami's squad has been strong enough to handle rotation due to De Paul already chipping in three assists […]
