Nicolas Jackson has made an impressive start to life at Aston Villa, with his form earning praise from his representative, Stanislas Denise.

The Senegal international joined the club during the last summer transfer window after leaving Chelsea and has quickly established himself as an important attacking option.

Jackson scored four goals in four Premier League appearances during October, a run that saw him named the division’s player of the month.

He also received the Premier League supporters’ award for the month, finishing ahead of Bart Verbruggen, Jan Paul van Hecke, Evanilson and Ezri Konsa.

The 25-year-old has scored nine goals in 14 appearances in all competitions for Aston Villa.

Denise, director of events and brand activation at Epic Sport, spoke to Maghreb-Foot and expressed his satisfaction with Jackson’s performances since the move to Aston Villa.

He is also optimistic about what lies ahead, particularly in relation to Jackson’s contributions for Senegal under manager Patrick Vieira.

Jackson’s form has provided encouragement for both club and country, with the striker appearing to have found a setting in which he can continue his development.

He is under contract at Aston Villa until 30 June 2031 and has an estimated market value of 45 million euros.

Senegal are due to face Sudan in their fourth match of the qualifying campaign for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
