“We’re extremely proud” – Agent delighted as client shines at Aston Villa

Nicolas Jackson’s agent has shared his delight at how things are going at Aston Villa, with the striker now shining at Villa Park.

Jackson joined Aston Villa from Chelsea in a €55.5m deal in the summer as a replacement for Ollie Watkins.

It was a deal which manager Unai Emery had been pursuing for some time. The effort to get the Senegal striker has proven to be worth it since.

Jackson is currently one of the inform strikers in Europe. He’s bagged nine goals and one assist in 14 games in all competitions to date, include three goals in four games in the Champions League. He was also recently voted as Player of the Month by Premier League fans.

Resurgence

It’s been a real resurgence for the 25-year-old. He has had a difficult few years at Chelsea and then last season on loan at Bayern Munich.

And his agent is delighted with how things are going so far. In fact, he’s feeling proud at getting the deal over the line.

“We are very proud of Nicolas Jackson’s excellent form and what he has accomplished thus far with Aston Villa,” Stanislas Denise told Maghreb Foot.

“He has delivered remarkable performances for his team, Aston Villa, in the Premier League since the start of the current season.

“His arrival at Aston Villa represents an exhilarating new challenge, and we are extremely proud of it.”

Can it continue?

The question now is whether Jackson can continue to prove his doubters wrong for the rest of the season. He’s certainly gone a long way to doing that in his first few months at Aston Villa.

The striker seems to be relishing the fact that he is not only first choice but also enjoys the complete support of Unai Emery as well. Those are both factors that he didn’t have at either Chelsea or Bayern Munich last season.

Of course, he knows the striker well, with this their second spell working together after Villarreal. Now the efforts made in the summer to reunite at Villa Park are paying off. And his agent is very pleased with that fact.
