Nicolas Jackson was raised in Ziguinchor, Southern Senegal, by his parents David and Lynette Jackson. Jackson’s brother, Christian Valentim Dama, is always there for him.
Nicolas Jackson, dubbed the “Senegalese Neymar” after his stunning nine-goal performance for Villarreal, has become a household name throughout Europe. However, Chelsea outlasted the competition and signed the striker first.
Jackson, who was on the verge of joining Bournemouth during the winter transfer window, signed an eight-year deal with Mauricio Pochettino’s side in the summer. He is, however, not Chelsea’s sole summer addition.
Christopher Nkunku, Moises Caicedo, Axel Disasi, and Lesley Ugochukwu are among the other prominent additions to the London club’s roster. The striker made his Premier League debut against Liverpool on the first day of the season.
Jackson was unable to score and came dangerously close to scoring an own goal. If not for the contested VAR review, the striker would have become a villain.
Blues fans, on the other hand, praised Jackson’s performance. The attacker is hoping that the Chelsea fans will warm up to him in the coming weeks.
Nicolas Jackson was born to Senegalese parents David and Lynette Jackson in Banjul, The Gambia. Nicholas’ social media handles demonstrate that his parents instilled in him a strong sense of identity.
In July, the Chelsea striker shared a photo of himself and his mother in Senegal. As the caption, he wrote, “A son’s first true love.”
According to Carlos Julio Martnez, an old comrade from their time at Mirandés, Jackson scored twice. His principal objectives were to reach Primera and to provide properly for his loved ones.
People in Jackson’s home country of Senegal refer to him as the “Senegalese Neymar,” so he came to the World Cup with some ego baggage.
However, Benefica had previously rejected him during a trial. So Nicolas didn’t inform his mother about Villareal until the paperwork was completed.
Jackson previously paid tribute to his mother on her birthday via Instagram. By God’s grace, he pledged, adding to the descriptions of two photos he shared, “May God continue to bless you.”
Although the Chelsea defender has other siblings, he has only shown Christian on his Instagram account.
The pair shared the same photo album to commemorate Lynette’s birthday in 2020. Christian’s Instagram feed is completely made up of photographs of Nicolas’s soccer successes.
After his brother made his Chelsea debut in a cup friendly against Wrexham, he posted a lengthy statement on social media thanking God.
Christian is now stationed in Senegal, although he may move to London in the near future to be closer to his sibling. As indicated by their Instagram bio, which reads, “There is nothing more special in the world than football,” the two brothers’ love for the game is undeniable.
The new Chelsea striker, Nicolas Jackson, began his professional career at the club Casa Sport. He signed with the Villarreal squad in Spain when he was 17 years old.
When Fernando Roig, the president of Villareal, saw Nicolas play for the U-19 squad, he urged that the club sign him. According to his previous coach Miguel, Nicolas was a notch above his B team teammates.
The loan move to Mirandes, where Nicolas played, did not go as planned for Jackson or Villarreal. He only scored once in 17 games. However, Jackson later claimed that his experiences at Mirandes had a good impact on him.
According to the Villarreal staff, Jackson changed considerably after returning from his loan move. He was physically intimidating, and the change in environment increased his efficacy.
Villarreal’s 2022 campaign, on the other hand, got off to a rocky start. When winter hit, Nicolas was no longer a sure thing to start at the front. However, there was worldwide interest, and Bournemouth was willing to pay the price.
The teams agreed to a deal, but it fell through after the English club got concerned about Nicolas’ hamstring injury. But when Nicolas returned from his njury, he simply lit up the stage.
Nicolas scored nine goals and assisted once in his final nine La Liga appearances. During that period, Nicolas had more points than any other European team, including the one he later joined.
