Martínez linked with Chelsea, Villa agree Jackson deal, Grealish loan approach

Chelsea are considering a move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, according to The Guardian. The Argentina international, who was not in the squad for Villa’s opening Premier League match, has reportedly expressed a desire to leave after a proposed move to Juventus collapsed last week. Villa have already signed Zion Suzuki from Parma as a potential replacement.

Meanwhile, Villa have agreed a £65m deal with Chelsea for striker Nicolas Jackson, according to the same report. The Senegal international is expected to replace Ollie Watkins, who is reportedly close to a £50m move to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.

According to the Birmingham Mail, Sunderland have made a loan approach for former Villa captain Jack Grealish. The Manchester City winger, who spent last season on loan at Everton, is said to be considering the offer which includes an option for a permanent transfer next summer.

In the Carabao Cup, Villa have been drawn away to Coventry City in the third round. The tie is scheduled to take place in mid September.

Villa Academy graduate Tommi O’Reilly has joined Doncaster Rovers on a season-long loan, as reported by the Birmingham Mail. The 22-year-old, who impressed on loan at Crewe Alexandra last season, will look to continue his development in League One.
