Chelsea announce Nicolas Jackson contract extension until 2033

Chelsea have announced that Nicolas Jackson has signed a two-year contract extension with the club.

The Athletic revealed earlier this month that the Senegal international, 23, had agreed to extend his terms at Stamford Bridge until 2033.

Team-mate Cole Palmer also recently signed an extension until June 2033.

“I am feeling very good and am very happy to sign a new contract and stay at the club,” Jackson said after Friday’s announcement.

“It feels great the club has confidence in me. I am working very hard. I am very happy to extend my contract and stay here for many years.”

Jackson joined from Villarreal in 2023 and went on to score 17 goals in a productive first season in English football.

He has scored twice in four appearances so far this season.

Chelsea see Jackson as a key part of a central attacking core that includes Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix, with Marc Guiu and Deivid Washington viewed as important members of that group for the future.

Chelsea — 11th in the Premier League — return to action following the international break away at Bournemouth on Saturday.
