Nicolas Jackson reveals he nearly joined Premier League rival before Chelsea transfer
Briefly

Nicolas Jackson has expressed relief that his move to Chelsea materialized despite prior interest from Aston Villa and Bournemouth; both transfers fell through due to a hamstring injury.
When Unai left, he wanted me to go to Aston Villa, but I was injured. I wanted to leave because the coach came in. I had to go, but I was injured. They checked and said I needed one more month.
I was very angry when the Aston Villa move collapsed while I was on the plane, but I told myself, ‘better things will come,’ and focused on scoring goals at Villarreal.
After returning from injury, I scored 12 goals in two months, proving that although the transfers to Aston Villa and Bournemouth didn’t happen, they helped me improve as a player.
