Nicolas Jackson transfer: Aston Villa agree deal worth up to £65m to sign Chelsea striker

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sell Ollie Watkins to Al Hilal, and are set to replace him with Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson.

The deal for Watkins is understood to be worth £50m, with Jackson set to join from the Blues in a transfer which could reach £65m.

Watkins is keen on the move to Saudi Arabia, and at least one bid was previously rejected by Villa. They did not want to sell the England international, but have now accepted Al Hilal's latest offer.
