Chelsea Secures Player for the Next NINE Years with Stunning New Contract
Major Contract News Ahead of Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace
Just before Chelsea’s match against Crystal Palace on Sunday, significant news broke. David Ornstein revealed that Nicolas Jackson has signed a contract extension with Chelsea, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until 2033. This nine-year deal ensures that the club has secured his services for nearly a decade.
Jackson’s Progress Earns Him a Long-Term Deal
The extension comes as a reward for Jackson’s impressive progress over the past year. The 23-year-old forward is seen as a crucial part of Enzo Maresca’s plans for a “central attacking core.” However, the unusually long contract length has sparked surprise and amusement among fans on social media.
Fans React to Jackson’s Lengthy Contract
One X user joked, “They had to move now to be fair, he was only signed until 2031.”
Another questioned, “What sort of contracts are they offering these guys at Chelsea? Never seen anything like this. Ever.”
A third user added, “He will be 32 by then. What sort of contract is this??”
Others were equally puzzled, with one commenting, “2033 is ridiculous when Osimhen is coming to bench him,” and another noting, “9-year extension will be so funny when they try to force him out in 2 seasons.”
Jackson’s Journey at Chelsea
Nicolas Jackson joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023 for a reported fee of £32 million from Villarreal. He made an immediate impact, scoring 17 goals in 44 games across all competitions last season. So far this campaign, he has found the net twice, including a goal against Palace today.
Speculation Surrounding Jackson’s Future
The Senegalese forward was linked with a potential move away from London this summer amid rumors of Chelsea’s interest in Victor Osimhen. However, after failing to secure Osimhen, Chelsea opted to extend Jackson’s stay, solidifying his place in the squad for years to come.
