“Southampton” club hopes to attract “Villarreal” forward Nicolas Jackson.

“The Athletic” reports that during the negotiations, the English heard a specific amount requested for the 21-year-old player, which amounts to 20 million euros.

This did not scare the representatives of the “Premier” League, who plan to conclude the negotiations in the near future.

If, however, the English fail to purchase the Senegalese forward, they will try to lure “Aston Villa” forward Danny Ings and “Bristol City” player Antoine Semenyo.

In this “La Liga” season, N. Jackson scored 2 goals and made 2 assists in 14 matches.
