Aston Villa’s attack has a clear focal point this season, and Nicolas Jackson has given Unai Emery an early return on the club’s summer investment.
The Senegal international has scored seven goals in 11 appearances across all competitions, including four in the Premier League, since arriving from Chelsea in late August.
Villa paid a reported £65 million for the 25-year-old after Ollie Watkins moved to Al-Hilal. Tammy Abraham offers a rotation option, giving Emery another centre-forward as Villa balance domestic fixtures with European commitments.
