Chelsea and Aston Villa are two teams in the Premier League who do not have much to complain about when taking a peek at their respective striker departments.
Enzo Maresca has Nicolas Jackson at his disposal, who has scored nine league goals this season.
Alan Shearer’s prediction about Nicolas Jackson is that he will score “a ton of goals for Chelsea” as well as he continues to have an impressive season.
Marc Guiu is only 18 and could go on to become a top-class centre-forward one day as well.

As for Aston Villa, Unai Emery can consider himself fortunate to have both Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran within his ranks, who have bagged seven and six league goals respectively.
However, both clubs are now battling to sign another number nine in Stefanos Tzimas.
Chelsea and Aston Villa targeting Stefanos Tzimas transfer
The 18-year-old, who is on loan at Nurnberg from PAOK has scored seven goals in 13 Bundesliga 2. games this campaign.
The teenager is proving to be one of the most talented up-and-coming strikers in Europe.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg has revealed that Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are “keeping an eye” on Tzimas as a potential addition.
Nurnberg are believed to be interested in activating the €18 million (£15 million) option-to-buy in his contract, with the aim of selling him in the summer.
Stuttgart are also keen on signing the Greek goalscorer but they consider the price in question “too high.”
Rating Chelsea and Aston Villa’s chances of signing Stefanos Tzimas
On one hand, Tzimas could well consider a move to Chelsea as the superior choice due to the fact that they are challenging for the Premier League.
Unai Emery’s side, however are fighting for a place in the top four.
Judging both clubs’ respective trajectories, it is difficult to look past Stamford Bridge being a more attractive destination for the youngster than Villa Park.
But at Aston Villa, Tzimas could potentially feel he has the chance to become a starter much faster than if he joined Chelsea, considering Watkins has not been as potent as last season and Duran is still viewed as an impact substitute.
However, ousting Jackson’s place from Enzo Maresca’s side seems like a hugely difficult task for any striker.
Whether both English giants even accelerate their efforts to sign the teenage sensation remains to be seen.
