Jackson has often been criticised by his own fans for missing chances but the club are happy with his first season and the numbers behind it
A short video of a deer dribbling a football with its antlers and scoring in an open net, before skipping away in celebration, was shared over the weekend by the “Nature is Amazing” social media account.
In this case, the perception of the player from armchair outsiders appears some distance apart from those inside the game. And if history can tell us anything it’s that first seasons are often not indicative of the rest of a player’s career at a club.There was, once upon a time, a summer when Chelsea signed a striker who only scored 10 Premier League goals in his first season.
Nobody can – or should – suggest that Jackson, aged 22, was bought as a finished product. He was signed for £35m in July. As forwards joining elite clubs go, it was a snip.
