Aston Villa have secured Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea in a club-record £65m deal, while also reaching a verbal agreement to sign PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye.

Chelsea striker Jackson is thought to be the preferred option of Unai Emery, if Ollie Watkins leaves the club before the window closes.

Jackson joined Chelsea from Villarreal in a £32m deal in 2023, and has gone on to score 30 goals in 81 appearances.
