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.

I can’t believe Chelsea passed on Victor Osimhen because of “wages” problems. And then give Nicolas Jackson a new contract. 9 years is a long time. What has Jackson done to earn this confidence from the club. I don’t understand the kind of faith the club has in Nicolas Jackson. You have a striker who cannot score goals no, what is the guarantee that he will be any better enough in 6 years time. You only succeeded in having a washed up player in your hands. I can’t wait to watch the next Mikel Obi’s podcast. He always has something nice to say about Jackson.

The 23-year-old Senegalese scored 14 goals in 35 games last year. This is a good statistic in a bad season for Chelsea. Jackson started well this year too. But nine years is a very long time. I don't think it's right for a football player to sign a nine-year contract. The system changes and the player may want to leave the team. In this case, there is no point in tying yourself to Chelsea for nine years.
