Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is pleased with his new contract at the club.
Nicolas Jackson has penned a new deal with Chelsea until 2033, and he has gone on to thank Aston Villa manager Unai Emery for improving his game.
Jackson has revealed it was Unai Emery who changed his position to a striker.
“I was always an offensive player,” he told Chelsea’s official website.
“When I was young I was a number 10 or a false nine, because I like to move and drop deep. When I came to Europe, Unai [Emery, Jackson’s coach at Villarreal] changed that and put me as a fixed number nine, waiting for the ball and playing more in the box, trying to run in behind.
“Unai changed all that, and I’m grateful. I try to work harder to improve every day in that position.”
Jackson has revealed his next aim is to win trophies at Chelsea.
“I want to win trophies, to make Chelsea the best, put the team back where it was, and to win individual trophies as well, to help my club and country,” Jackson states.
“I am trying to work hard for that aim, but the most important is the team, and I hope with the team we will win many trophies together. These are the happy moments you can tell your family about. That’s the aim.”
