The forward almost saw his dream slip away in 2023
A former housemate of a Chelsea star has revealed how the player almost saw his opportunity to play in the Premier League slip away from him.Goujan hurled a chair from the bench during the celebration of a 3-2 win over UCAM Murcia, but it was Jackson who was mistakenly shown a red card by the referee – since this, the 25-year-old has felt ‘forever in debt’ to Jackson.
Goujon believes the incident summed up the striker’s determination to get to the elite level of the game.The report explained how he was driving the forward to the airport ahead of a proposed £20.3m to AFC Bournemouth in January 2023 when Jackson received a WhatsApp message notifying him that the deal had collapsed.
Jackson continued to work hard, scoring 13 goals in 38 appearances for Villarreal in his final season at the club. His impressive tally currently puts him sixth in the overall goalscoring chart for the 2024/25 season.
