Chelsea and Senegalese striker, Nicolas Jackson, is making headlines ahead of the team’s upcoming match against Fulham.
With an impressive tally of nine goals and three assists this season, Jackson’s performance has been pivotal for Chelsea.
Manager Enzo Maresca praised Jackson’s contributions, noting his effectiveness in pressing and aggression on the field.
“Nico [Jackson] is doing fantastic since we started, also with the way he is helping the team when we need to press, when we need to be aggressive.
“There’s a lot more to come from him and not only from Nico, there is room for improvement every day.”
Jackson’s recent form has been remarkable, with his scoring average significantly increasing from last season.
He has already been involved in 23 goals across his last 29 Premier League starts, showcasing his development as a key player for Chelsea.
His partnership with teammate Cole Palmer has also flourished, yielding ten goals together this season.
Former players have drawn comparisons between Jackson and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, suggesting he could follow a similar trajectory.
