July 18th According to Alex Crook, chief reporter of British media Talksport, although Chelsea intends to sign 22-year-old Villa forward Rodgers for £80 million this summer, Villa has no intention of selling players, and Chelsea may try to join Jackson as a potential bargaining chip.

The reporter said on the show: "Rogers is the only player Villa can't be sold this summer. They do need to sell players to balance the revenue and expenditure of PSR. Chelsea is interested in Rodgers, but I think Villa's message at the moment is that he is not a seller.

" Rodgers must be careful because Chelsea already has so many players. Can he guarantee a starter when the World Cup is approaching? He knew that Emery liked him if he stayed in Villa and they would build a team around him. There is a risk of leaving at this time. ”

Chelsea may try to use forward Jackson as a bargaining chip in Rodgers' potential trade. According to previous reports by Talksport, Villa is paying attention to Jackson.

At the same time, Chelsea has introduced Drapp, Gittens, Estewan and Joao Pedro on the front line this summer.

22-year-old Rodgers played 37 Premier League games for Aston Villa last season, contributing 8 goals and 10 assists. The player's current German turnover price is 55 million euros.
