Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has boldly declared that he faces "no competition" at the club, despite recent transfer speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United.
The Senegalese international made these remarks amid growing rumors about his future at Stamford Bridge, especially following Chelsea's acquisition of new attacking talents Joao Pedro and Liam Delap during the current transfer window.
"Competition? I have no competition," Jackson told DSports TV in a recent interview. "We are all here to help the club. Everyone has their role to play. I'm on a mission."
The forward, who joined Chelsea from Spanish club Villarreal, further emphasized his focus remains solely on his performance rather than club transfer decisions. "It's up to the coach to make his choices. I focus solely on my work," he added.
Jackson's confident stance comes at a crucial time for Chelsea as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League season under manager Enzo Maresca. The Blues have been active in the transfer market, strengthening various positions including their attacking options.
Football analysts suggest Jackson's comments reflect his determination to cement his place in Chelsea's starting lineup despite the increased competition for attacking positions. His direct approach and confidence could potentially influence Maresca's team selection strategy for the upcoming season.
The striker's commitment to Chelsea will likely reassure fans concerned about losing key players before the transfer window closes. With Manchester United reportedly still interested in strengthening their forward line, Jackson's public declaration of loyalty represents a significant boost for the London club.
