Aston Villa are one of the clubs monitoring Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson.
The Midlands outfit played out a goalless draw at the beginning of the campaign against Newcastle United.
They were down to 10 men after the hour mark, but managed to hold out for a comfortable point in front of their fans.
Ollie Watkins had a quiet afternoon upfront for the Villans, and it appears manager Unai Emery wants competition.
With the departures of Jhon Duran and Marcus Rashford, Emery would ideally prefer a young striker to compete.
Jackson has now emerged as a potential target for the Villans. The Senegal international has been put up for sale by Chelsea.
He was a mainstay in the starting XI over the last two years, but has been told to pursue a new challenge this summer.
It remains to be seen whether Villa can meet the demands of the Blues, who could hold out for at least £60m for his services.
