Unai Emery has worked previously with Jackson at Villarreal, and with Ollie Watkins linked with a move away from Aston Villa, the club have been exploring a move for a new striker.
Villa’s first two games of the season has yet to see them score with a goalless draw against Newcastle followed up by a 1-0 defeat at Brentford.
Jackson has fallen own the pecking order at Chelsea after Enzo Maresca signed striker Joao Pedro and Liam Delap this summer.
The 24-year-old was not involved in the Chelsea squad that defeated West Ham 5-1 at the London Stadium amid speculation he is going to leave the club.
