Chelsea’s Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson remains composed despite summer transfer rumours linking him to Manchester United following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Jo\u00e3o Pedro. Since his 2023 move from Villarreal, Jackson has faced challenges, netting 13 goals across all competitions last season. <\/p>\n
Jackson responded to questions about competition for places, stating, \u201cCompetition? I have no competition. We\u2019re all here to help the club. Everyone has their role to play. I\u2019m on a mission. It\u2019s up to the coach to make his choices. I focus solely on my work.\u201d<\/p>\n
He emphasized his commitment to Chelsea, adding, \u201cI\u2019m a Chelsea player. The future belongs to God. If there are any changes, you\u2019ll know. For now, I\u2019m focused on my preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Jo\u00e3o Pedro impressing early in his Chelsea tenure, he is expected to start the Premier League season ahead of Jackson. Chelsea\u2019s squad depth means the club could let Jackson move on if an appropriate offer emerges, especially with prospect Marc Guiu likely to go on loan to Sunderland.<\/p>\n
Jackson has scored double digits in the Premier League across his two seasons at Stamford Bridge but Chelsea require a more prolific forward to bolster their Champions League ambitions and challenge top rivals such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
