There might have been a few raised eyebrows when Nicolas Jackson was handed a contract extension until 2033 by Chelsea recently, but his performance against West Ham shows why it looks a smart decision.
There might have been a few raised eyebrows when Nicolas Jackson was handed a two-year contract extension until 2033 by Chelsea eight days ago.
The numbers Maresca refers to certainly compare favourably to last season for the Senegal international - albeit with the caveat that this campaign is still in its infancy. In terms of big chances scored and missed Jackson's numbers appear to show a more clinical edge to his game. Since the start of 2023-24, Jackson and Chelsea team-mate Cole Palmer have combined for 10 Premier League goals - at least two more than any other duo in the English top flight.
It was his second goal, though, that caught the eye of former Chelsea striker Demba Ba who said on X that Jackson gave a "masterclass on creating space".
