Jackson expressed criticism towards the former Chelsea midfielder in the past. During a conversation with fellow pundit Ruud Gullit, Mikel was asked if he agrees with Jackson's assessment. Mikel responded by saying that he doesn't necessarily agree, but he believes others will understand where he is coming from. He made it clear that his intentions were not malicious and that he was simply offering constructive criticism.
Gullit then commented that as long as Jackson understands this himself. To which Mikel added that unfortunately, he doesn't. This was evident when Jackson scored a goal and told Mikel to "shut up!".
Despite the failed attempt to sign Victor Osimhen in the final weeks of the summer transfer window, Jackson remains Chelsea's preferred striker this season. Maresca, one of the club's officials, explained that they were looking to bring in new players, but only on their own terms. He stated that if a player is not with the club, it was not their decision, and they will have to wait until the next transfer window in January.
Maresca also expressed confidence in Jackson, stating that he had faith in him even before the transfer window. He praised the striker for his fantastic performance with the team and mentioned that they are planning to offer him a new contract, although the details are still unknown. He ended by saying that they are satisfied with Jackson's performance, despite missing a few chances.
