Aston Villa are monitoring the situation of Villarreal winger Nicolas Jackson, as Unai Emery looks to reunite with 21-year-old star... but Everton and Newcastle are also interested in the Senegal forward

Aston Villa are among the clubs monitoring developments with Villarreal's exciting winger Nicolas Jackson.

Villa's new coach Unai Emery knows the 21-year old very well having worked closely with him and recognises the potential he has.

Everton and Newcastle have been following his progress in recent months too after he broke into Villarreal's first team but he was viewed as raw and a work in progress.

However, the Senegalese is out of contract next summer and that will open the door for a number of other suitors, notably including Barcelona.
