David and Lynette Jackson reared Nicolas in Ziguinchor, Southern Senegal. Christian Valentim Dama, Jackson’s brother, always helps.
Nicolas Jackson has become a European star after his nine-goal Villarreal heroics, earning him the nickname “Senegalese Neymar”. Chelsea beat out the competition and signed the striker first.
Jackson, who was close to joining Bournemouth in the winter, signed an eight-year contract with Tottenham in the summer. He is not Chelsea’s only summer signing.
Other notable London club recruits include Christopher Nkunku, Moises Caicedo, Axel Disasi, and Lesley Ugochukwu. The striker debuted in the Premier League against Liverpool on day one.
Jackson failed to score and nearly scored an own goal. Without the disputed VAR review, the goalscorer would have been a villain.
But Blues fans appreciated Jackson’s performance. The striker hopes Chelsea fans will warm up to him in coming weeks.
Nicolas Jackson was born in Banjul, The Gambia, to Senegalese parents David and Lynette Jackson. The social media accounts of Nicholas show that his parents gave him a strong identity.
Chelsea’s striker posted a photo of himself and his mother in Senegal in July. His caption read, “A son’s first true love.”
Carlos Julio Martnez, a Mirandés teammate, said Jackson scored twice. He wanted to reach Primera and support his family.
Jackson arrived to the World Cup with ego, since Senegalese people call him the “Senegalese Neymar.”
Once, Benefica rejected him at a trial. Nicolas didn’t tell his mother about Villareal until the paperwork was done.
Jackson previously honored his mother on Instagram on her birthday. In the captions of two images he uploaded, he said, “May God continue to bless you.”
Although the Chelsea defender has additional siblings, he solely shows Christian on Instagram.
They shared a 2020 birthday photo slideshow for Lynette. Christian’s Instagram is all Nicolas’s soccer photos.
He thanked God on social media after his brother made his Chelsea debut in a cup friendly against Wrexham.
Christian is currently in Senegal but may travel to London to be with his sibling. As their Instagram bio states, “There is nothing more special in the world than football,” the brothers love football.
Nicolas Jackson, the new Chelsea striker, started his career with Casa Sport. At 17, he joined Villarreal in Spain.
Fernando Roig, Villareal’s president, suggested signing Nicolas after seeing him play for the U-19s. Nicolas was better than his B team counterparts, according to Miguel, his former coach.
Jackson and Villarreal struggled with Nicolas’ loan to Mirandes. He scored once in 17 games. However, Jackson later said Mirandes benefited him.
Jackson changed significantly after his loan move, according to Villarreal staff. His menacing appearance and shift in environment improved his effectiveness.
Villarreal’s 2022 campaign started poorly. Nicolas lost his front-running edge in winter. Bournemouth was willing to pay for global interest.
The deal fell through as the English club worried about Nicolas’ hamstring issue. However, Nicolas lit up the stage after his injury.
Nicolas scored nine goals and assisted once in his final nine La Liga games. Nicolas scored more points than any European squad, even his later club.
