I have no idea why Chelsea want to extend Jackson's contract when his performance isn't that good lol.

Chelsea will be in loss I guess, there's no team want Jackson except Chelsea release him cheaper than his market value. It's really rare to see old players in Chelsea, Jackson will turn 31 in the next 9 years, 31 years old striker in Premier League mostly can't compete with the young players anymore.

Why did you think Chelsea extended his contract? Do you think they’ll keep him till that time, I don’t think so at all and this is purely a business strategy to me. The player is not performing that good but they can’t tell how well he may improve overtime, so by increasing his contract will give them time for ownership of the player more and when needed by another club, they may have to pay a high transfer fee to get him in their side. Nicholas Jackson even agreed to the deal without hesitation, I wonder what he must have been told and how they were able to convince him easily to extend his contract.

If I was the coach of Chelsea Nicolas Jackson would been kept on the bench for most of the games. He has been a very wasteful striker who rarely maximizes goalscoring chances. But he is strong, a team player and humble, maybe this might be the quality the coach wants. As a striker, the goals should be the main objective. The reason why the club might give him this long-term contract might be because they believe he would improve and his earnings might be low. I hope the Senegalese will be able to prove to Enzo Maresca that he deserves this trust.

He really needs to improve in his scoring ability because a striker does not need to be wasting goals as he is doing now. He needs to improve in all ramifications and be a top striker that teams needs to be sorting for in the future. His contract extension may seem to have been fuelled by the believe they have for him to score more goals and be more professional than he is now. He’s still young, he should make the best out of the current opportunity given to him now.
