Jackson was the hero at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday evening as he scored a treble in the final 15 minutes of the match to give Chelsea a 4-1 victory.

After the game Jackson was delighted to have scored his first hattrick for the Blues and believes there is no club bigger in the world.

What did Jackson say?

"I am very happy and it has been a difficult time for everybody in the team,” Jackson told Sky Sports.

“I am happy to have scored three goals. It's my first hat-trick, so I am happy to have done it with the biggest club in England and everywhere."

Jackson joined Chelsea this summer from Villarreal for a transfer fee of €37 million.

He has established himself as Mauricio Pochettino’s first-choice number nine.

However, there has been some debate as to whether Chelsea need a more proven and experienced striker than the 22-year-old.

It has been widely reported that Chelsea plan to sign a top-class number nine in the January transfer market, and failing that in the summer.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is said to be Chelsea’s first-choice option in the position, even if there is no chance of signing him until the end of the season.

However, Jackson’s hattrick has now raised the question whether Chelsea should hold off a while longer.

The striker now has six goals in all competitions for Chelsea this season. This includes five in the Premier League.
