**Dakar, Senegal** – Chelsea striker **Jackson** has been crowned the best Senegalese player of the 2023/24 season playing abroad, according to Senenews. The 23-year-old forward received a resounding 203 votes from fans and experts, securing the top spot ahead of Al-Hilal defender **Kalidou Koulibaly** (167 votes) and Red Star Belgrade attacker **Cherif Ndiaye** (47 votes).
Jackson enjoyed a successful season with Chelsea, making 44 appearances, scoring 17 goals, and contributing 6 assists. Despite his impressive form, the forward was surprisingly omitted from the shortlist for the African Player of the Year award last week.
This recognition from Senegalese fans and pundits underscores Jackson’s impact on the international stage. His impressive performances for Chelsea have solidified his status as a key player for the Senegalese national team.
With his undeniable talent and burgeoning reputation, Jackson will be aiming to continue his strong form and build upon his impressive achievements in the upcoming season.
