Jackson signed his contract until 2033. Damn, what kind of longterm plan do the Blues want to show. This seems too early, I mean at least Jackson should go through this season until the end and see how much contribution he can give to the club. Since the deal has been done, so hopefully what Chelsea is doing can go well. Once again Jackson indirectly has a heavy burden on his shoulders to prove he is worthy, because if not then Jackson will receive a bitter risk from all the fans.

I don't know how this happened, whether it was initiated from the side of Jackson or from the management side. Giving a player like Jackson which I consider as average a contract of 8 years is outrageous or strange to me. It is also a risk to Jackson because he could be lucky and become a world sensation, then moving to a better club would be a problem.
Anyways, I'll need to know the clauses of this contract; the wages and the release clause before I'll make a better judgement.

In extending the contract Chelsea is right crazy to give a long time to the game while we know Jackson has not contributed much to Chelsea and last season he performed poorly but somehow Chelsea always extends long contracts not just 1 player but many.

Maybe we never know the reason behind it - or Chelsea management sees Jackson's potential in a brighter future so he is extended a longer contract for up to 8 more years.

I myself am not so sure he will perform brilliantly this season, he must try hard because Chelsea has given him full confidence with a long contract.

Maybe Chelsea saw something that we can't see at the moment. What I know is that Nicolas Jackson looks like an ordinary striker and his overall performance still far from being satisfactory. It seems like Chelsea still really hopes for the potential they think Jackson has. He probably has that because he's still young, but it could also be that he has reached a dead end, so that no matter how long it takes, he will still be like that.
