Alex Crook reveals Nicholas Jackson was unhappy with Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea exit and now he’s linked with a move away from the club
The Blues need to cash in on academy products like Maatsen to stay in line with Financial Fair Play regulations.When asked if they will regret selling Maatsen, he told talkSPORT.com: "100%. I get why they are letting him go, £35-40million, they've already got Marc Cucurella, they've got Ben Chilwell, they don't need another left back."Young age of 22, we'll bite their hands off.
"So I think it's one that Chelsea will regret and one that Aston Villa fans are going to love. He'll start and then it wouldn't surprise me if Lucas Digne moves on and Alex Moreno is the back-up left back.Villa can offer Maatsen Champions League football next season after finishing fourth in the Premier League last term.
"So I'm happy with the signing. I think it just shows where we are now, we can start going for bigger, pedigree players. And I think it's going to be a great transfer window for Unai Emery."
