Senegalese Striker Nicolas Jackson’s Value Doubles After 8 Goals and 2 Assists in Villarreal’s Last 6 Games

Villarreal’s Nicolas Jackson has been on fire recently, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists in the club’s last 6 games. The 21-year-old striker has become a key player in the Yellow Submarine’s attack, much to the delight of his coach Quique Setién.

Setién was quoted as saying, “We already knew about his qualities, only that he was injured for over two months and wasn’t able to show them. He generates options and is a constant threat to opponents.”

Jackson’s recent performances have doubled his value according to Setién. However, the coach fears that a big club may come in and take him away from Villarreal. “He’s going to finish the season spectacularly, and the sad thing is that, for us, it’s more likely that someone will come in and take him, paying twice as much as they did in January. But it’s possible. He’s happy here; he’s doing his best, but we don’t know what’s going to happen,” said Setién.

Leipzig is said to be one of the interested suitors for Jackson. The Senegalese striker’s release clause is set at 35 million euros.

Jackson almost left Villareal last winter when he failed his medical for Bournemouth. However, his recent performances have shown his worth, leaving fans and club officials hopeful that he will stay with the Yellow Submarine.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Nicolas Jackson, but one thing is for sure – his recent performances on the pitch have certainly caught the attention of some big clubs.
