Aston Villa is interested in signing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson.
Villa is supposed to have investigated the circumstances of a deal for the 24-year-old, who played under head coach Unai Emery in Villarreal.
Jackson told Chelsea earlier this month that he wants to consider his options during the transfer window. Chelsea signed this summer Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
Jackson was absent in the Chelsea team for friendly matches against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan prior to the Premier League season.
The striker served the last match of a suspension in Chelsea's first game of the season against Crystal Palace.
Jackson scored 13 goals in 37 performances in all competitions last season, after he scored 17 in 44 during his first year at the club.
