Unai Emery makes exciting Nicolas Jackson prediction and explains ‘reality’ after Chelsea transfer

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery believes striker Nicolas Jackson can develop into one of the best forwards in world football. The Senegal international joined Villa from Chelsea in the summer transfer window and has already scored seven goals across all competitions, including a match-winning brace against Manchester City.

Emery previously managed Jackson at Villarreal and targeted him after Ollie Watkins pursued a move to Al-Hilal. Emery highlighted Jackson's work ethic and mentality, noting that his new chapter at Villa provides the opportunity to reach the elite level of players like Harry Kane.
