Murphy claims Jackson has outperformed Delap, stating, "He's more of a goal threat." Despite Chelsea paying £30m for Delap, the striker has struggled with injuries and has only scored two goals in 24 appearances.
With Delap playing second fiddle to Joao Pedro, Murphy believes joining Chelsea was a step too far for the 23-year-old. Jackson is set to return from his loan at Bayern Munich, where the German champions are unlikely to sign him permanently.
