Jackson is the first-choice No. 9 in the Mané-Sarr-Jackson front three. His profile — direct runner, channel-creator, physical presence — gives Senegal a way to play balls in behind that the Mané-era front line didn’t have. The finishing is streaky, but the chance creation is consistent.

Strengths

Channel-running and stretching defences
Acceleration over 10-20 metres
