Jackson nets to send Chelsea back into Champions League place

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 26: Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea battles for possession with Jake O'Brien of Everton during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Everton FC at Stamford Bridge on April 26, 2025 in London, England. Chelsea edged back into the Champions League places with a one-goal victory over Everton at Stamford Bridge. The win moves the Blues up to fourth in the Premier League, level on points with Nottingham Forest and a point ahead of Newcastle, who play Ipswich later on Saturday. With Forest and Aston Villa in FA Cup semi-final action this weekend, Chelsea will hold on to a top-five spot at least until Thursday, when Forest host Brentford. The crucial three points were sealed by striker Nicolas Jackson, who ended a 13-match goalless run stretching back to December....

Maresca ‘completely happy’ with Nicolas Jackson

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 20: Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson celebrates scoring his side's first goal during the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC at Anfield on October 20, 2024 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by Alex Dodd - CameraSport via Getty Images) It may have been a month since Nicolas Jackson last scored for Chelsea, but Enzo Maresca says he is 'completely happy' with the striker and his performances. Our four-game run without a win in the Premier League has coincided with Jackson’s relatively lean spell in front of goal. Prior to that, he had netted nine goals in 15 league appearances, a figure Maresca notes would have been higher if he took spot-kicks for the Blues, like strikers often do at other clubs. The head coach offered encouragement to Jac...

Jackson double fires Chelsea to victory at woeful West Ham

Nicolas Jackson fired Chelsea to a 3-0 win against West Ham as the Senegal striker repaid his manager's faith with a decisive double at the London Stadium on Saturday. Jackson struck twice in the first half before Cole Palmer wrapped up Chelsea's third win in five Premier League games under new boss Enzo Maresca. It was a well-timed brace from Jackson, who was Chelsea's first choice striker by Maresca on Friday, despite Christopher Nkunku's match-winning impact against Bournemouth last weekend. Although Jackson signed a contract extension earlier in September that will keep the Senegal star at Stamford Bridge until 2033, there were calls for Nkunku to start after the French forward came off the bench to net in the 1-0 win at Bournemouth. Jackson scored 17 goals in an inconsistent debut sea...

Chelsea striker agrees contract extension

Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by London rivals Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Nicolas Jackson put the hosts ahead in the first-half, before Eberechi Eze’s stunning strike drew the Eagles level. The draw is the first of Enzo Maresca’s tenure in charge of Chelsea, following two wins and two defeats across all competitions so far. Now, it appears that goal scorer Jackson has agreed a new contract with the West London club. As per BBC Sport, Chelsea have extended Jackson’s contract until the summer of 2033. The striker’s deal had been set to expire at the end of the 2030/31 campaign, but the report claims that he will now be tied to the club for a further two years. Jackson, 23, joined the Blues from Spanish side Villarreal last summer and enjoyed a mixed debut season in...
