12-goal signing announces ‘my heart’ told me to sign for Chelsea

Nicolas Jackson has opened up after officially completing his move to CHELSEA this summer.

The former Villareal man is one of the players that the club were desperate to sign this summer – as they seek to add some more goals to the side – and they have paid £34 million to the Spaniards to wrap up his signature.

He has agreed a massive eight-year contract with the club and after his move was confirmed – Jackson has now admitted that he was keen to join a big side like us.

Jackson said on the club website: “I wanted to join a big team and Chelsea is one of the best teams in the world, plus I’ve watched them since I was young.

‘I watched Demba Ba, Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka was good too, big players. So I always dreamed of playing for a team like this.

“When Chelsea came, there was no question in my mind. I always had this kind of team in my mind.

‘I talked to my family and my agent and I have icons who played here – Drogba and Ba, big strikers. So when Chelsea came, my heart said the answer should be yes and I decided to follow it and come here.

“I remember the Champions League final in 2012 and especially when Drogba scored that header right at the end.

‘I watched those players for Chelsea when I was growing up, so I decided to follow in their footsteps. Hopefully, that’s what continues to happen now I’m here.”
