Born in 2001 in Ziekinsauer, southern Senegal, Jackson played wild football wearing school shoes or barefoot until the age of 16.
At the age of 16, Jackson's mother bought him a pair of used sneakers, which was his first pair of shoes. Also at the age of 16, Jackson, who had never played for an academy or been noticed by a club, decided to drop out of school to try his hand at professional football.
In 2023, at the age of 22, he joined Chelsea on an eight-year contract. Now Chelsea have renewed his contract until 2033. If the contract is fulfilled, Jackson will be 32 years old by then.
