Confirmed: Nicolas Jackson extends contract with Chelsea until 2033

Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson has secured his future at Stamford Bridge, agreeing to a contract extension until 2033.

The 23-year-old Senegalese striker, who joined from Villarreal last summer, enjoyed a laudable debut season, scoring 17 goals.

Jackson’s strong start to the current season, featuring a goal and an assist, has convinced manager Enzo Maresca.

The club’s hierarchy has now rewarded his progress with a new long-term deal.

According to The Athletic, the contract also includes an option to extend.

Recall the club also recently extended the services of Cole Palmer until June 2033, showing their keen interest in young talents.

Chelsea’s Premier League campaign is off to a mixed start, with one win and one loss.

They prepare to face Crystal Palace in their third EPL match of the season on Sunday (today), by 1:30pm.
