Career
Nicolas Jackson began his professional career at Casa Sports, a team in the Senegalese Premier League. In September 2019, he moved to Villarreal and was then loaned to Mirandes, a Spanish second-tier team. At Mirandes, he played in 20 matches and scored two goals.
After returning to Villarreal in the summer of 2020, Jackson joined the club’s B team in the RFEF Primera División. Throughout the season, he proved his worth by scoring an impressive seven goals in 27 league matches, helping the team gain promotion to the second tier. Finally, on 3 October 2021, Jackson made his long-awaited debut for the first team, replacing Arnaut Danjuma and contributing to a 2–0 home win over Real Betis.
Nicolas Jackson scored his first La Liga goal on 13 August 2022, securing the opening point in a 3–0 away win over Real Valladolid. After thirteen days, Jackson and teammate Álex Baena were promoted to the first team.
Jackson officially joined Premier League side Chelsea on 30 June 2023, signing a lucrative eight-year contract until 2031 for a transfer fee of around £32 million. He made his first appearance for the club on 13 August 2023, in a 1–1 draw against Liverpool. Jackson then showed his goalscoring ability on 25 August 2023, scoring his first goal for Chelsea in a convincing 3–0 win over newly promoted Luton Town at Stamford Bridge.
On November 6, 2023, in the highly anticipated match between Tottenham and Chelsea, The Blues won with an overwhelming score of 4-1. This remarkable victory was largely due to the excellent performance of Nicolas Jackson, who scored three goals and completed a hat-trick.
Despite facing a determined Spurs side who were down to just nine players for the entire game, Mauricio Pochettino’s return to north London proved chaotic as his side suffered a defeat to their opponents. Chelsea’s win was a hard-fought one, demonstrating their incredible resilience and determination on the pitch.
