Overview
- Sky's Florian Plettenberg reports Aston Villa held initial talks and are monitoring Jackson, with a move to Bayern Munich ruled out.
- Fabrizio Romano says Jackson is expected to leave Chelsea, with Premier League clubs in contact and no formal bids disclosed.
- Newcastle remain in contention, described as frontrunners ahead of AC Milan by Italian outlet Calciomercato.
- Reporting varies on Chelsea's valuation, from around £80m to suggestions of a reduction toward £50m in the late window.
- Newcastle's parallel interest in Yoane Wissa is described as complicated due to Brentford's reported £60m stance, influencing forward plans.
