The recognition follows an outstanding season for Jackson at Chelsea.

Despite a shaky start at Chelsea and his move to the team in the 2023 summer transfer window, Jackson has quickly established himself as a key player and prolific goalscorer.

With 5 goals and 3 assists in his Chelsea games this season, Jackson has made a significant impact.

His goal total is second only to Cole Palmer, who leads the team with 6 goals.
