Jackson, 23, has notched 30 goals and 12 assists in 80 appearances since joining Chelsea, marking himself as a key part of their squad rebuild. However, recent incidents have tested the club’s patience. He was sent off twice in his last four matches, with Chelsea losing on both occasions — away at Newcastle and against Flamengo in the Club World Cup.
While these red cards have raised eyebrows among fans and triggered speculation about a potential sale, Sky Sports reports that Chelsea still consider Jackson “not for sale.” The club reportedly views him as one of two elite number nines in their long-term plans, alongside new signing Liam Delap.
Interest from Serie A sides Napoli and Juventus, as well as Saudi Pro League clubs, has surfaced, but Chelsea are only willing to reconsider if a significant offer arrives.
Despite the club’s backing, pressure is mounting. Supporters are increasingly frustrated with Jackson’s lapses in discipline and finishing inconsistencies. His red card against Flamengo — just four minutes after coming on — sparked heavy criticism online, even though the player later issued a public apology.
Jackson remains under contract until 2033, giving Chelsea ample control over his future. Still, he may find himself behind Delap in the pecking order if both are available, especially as manager Enzo Maresca eyes consistency and maturity in his frontline. The message is clear: Jackson’s Chelsea career isn’t over yet, but his margin for error is shrinking.
