Nicolas Jackson addresses transfer rumours and competition doubts in exclusive interview

Nicolas Jackson is enjoying his holiday after a long season, but he's just given an interview with DSports in his native Senegal about his second year with Chelsea: 'We thank God. I won two trophies. There were difficult moments, moments of glory,' the striker said when asked to look back on Chelsea's year. 'Every season is like that. But the most important thing is to stay focused, to learn, and to grow in the face of adversity.' Jackson himself had a strange season – the first half he looked to have gone to another level. He was scoring for fun and had ironed out some of the issues from his first campaign. But a dreadful run without goals, an injury and a couple of silly red cards undid a lot of good work. The Senegal star was philosophical about it: 'That's football. There are ups and downs. But I didn't lack confidence. I was focused on what I needed to improve. The most important thing is to get up at the right time, without getting distracted.' Jackson then picked out a game as his favourite of the season: 'The match against PSG. Everyone thought we were going to get beaten. But we believed in ourselves, we gave it our all, and we won. It was a very powerful moment. But now we have to look ahead.'

I'm on a mission. It's up to the coach to make his choices. I focus solely on my work,' the striker said when asked about his two new rivals to lead the line, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. That's the sort of attitude we love. When asked about a potential move away, he certainly didn't jump at the chance to push for a move: 'I'm a Chelsea player. The future belongs to God. If there are any changes, you'll know. For now, I'm focused on my preparation.'

Bucs' Baker Mayfield finds 'silver lining' in Bucs OL situation during camp

For most quarterbacks, starting training camp without their full offensive line intact might sound like a setback. But Baker Mayfield sees opportunity in adversity, and he's making sure his teammates do too. Mayfield spoke about the Bucs' offensive line situation, saying, 'When you think about it that way, there is a silver lining, they are getting reps together as the starting five as of right now. They are getting reps together communication wise. With that unit, the more they get chemistry, the more they get going together, the better it's going to be. So yeah, it is good that they are getting reps, potentially not the best reason why, but it's a great day one in training camp to do it.' While it's still unclear whether this version of the offensive line will hold once the season starts, the current group is gaining valuable reps early, timing, communication, and trust. For Mayfield, that chemistry may matter more than names on a depth chart. Last year, the Bucs struggled with injuries and rotations along the line with both Wirfs and Goedeke suffering a concussion that knocked him out a month. This year, Mayfield wants to turn uncertainty into cohesion. It's a mentality he's carried since his college days: control what you can and build from the inside out. Mayfield continues to grow into his role as the team's emotional engine. Rather than express frustration about missing pieces, he's putting a spotlight on the players who are there and the work they're putting in. His perspective echoes what teammates and coaches have praised him for since arriving in Tampa: his presence in the locker room, his command in the huddle, and the ability to rally his teammates regardless of the circumstances. That kind of chemistry may pay dividends when the pads are on and the bullets are flying in September.
