Former Senegal international Mohamed Adama Sarr advises Nicolas Jackson to remain for another two or three seasons at Aston Villa, where the striker is scoring regularly in the Champions League and Premier League. Sarr says his confidence and place in the team explain this success, while discussing his chances of finishing as the league’s top scorer, according to Africafoot.

Mohamed Adama Sarr, a former Senegal international, advises Nicolas Jackson to stay at Aston Villa for another two or three seasons before taking on a new challenge. He made the recommendation in an interview with Africafoot, reports Senego.

Sarr attributes the striker’s recent performances to the confidence and role he has in the English team. Jackson scored twice against Fenerbahçe in the Champions League, then scored another brace against Manchester City in the Premier League. Sarr encourages him to maintain his efforts with Aston Villa and Senegal, and raises the possibility of him finishing as the league’s top scorer, while recalling that the season has only just begun.

Jackson joined Aston Villa from Chelsea for €55 million, according to Senego. Sarr’s advice comes after the striker’s two braces, one of them in the Champions League, already reported on 15 October.
