Nicolas Jackson completed his £30million transfer to Chelsea on Friday night and already believes he will do 'amazing' things with the club. The Senegal international has signed an eight-year deal at Stamford Bridge after netting nine times in eight matches to end the La Liga season with Villarreal.
The striker is Chelsea's second senior transfer of the summer, following the arrival of Christopher Nkunku and will soon join up to play under Mauricio Pochettino, who himself starts work at Cobham in the coming week. While Jackson all but secured a move to Bournemouth in January, but failed his medical as he suffered a hip problem in the early stages of 2023, his ambition was always to hit the heights of a team such as the Blues.
"I feel I'm going to do amazing things here. See you soon Stamford Bridge," said the 22-year-old in a video following the announcement of his transfer but in a more in-depth interview with the official club website, Jackson divulged the Chelsea stars he looked up to as a child and the number of people who influenced his decisions to make a move to west London happen.
