Nicolas Jackson has been one of Chelsea’s standout players this season, and he recently added to his goal tally while on international duty with Senegal, scoring against Malawi.
Jackson Thriving Under Enzo Maresca
Enzo Maresca has worked wonders with several Chelsea players this season, and Jackson is no exception. The Senegalese striker has already notched up four goals and three assists in just eight appearances, making him Chelsea’s key man up front.
However, his season hasn’t been without its bumps. After the final whistle in a match against Nottingham Forest, Jackson was caught in an altercation, slapping Forest player Morato. Fortunately for Jackson, he escaped any punishment.
Strong Performance for Senegal
On international duty with Senegal, Jackson continued to impress. He played 81 minutes against Malawi, scoring a goal and causing problems for the opposition’s defense. His performance in numbers:
- 1 goal
- 1 shot on target, 1 off target
- Completed 1 dribble
- 31 touches
- 82% passing accuracy
- Won 3 out of 6 duels
- Lost possession 7 times
- Fouled once
- Made 1 tackle
Although the quality of opposition at the international level can differ from the Premier League, Jackson’s ability to perform consistently is starting to shine through.
Filip Jorgensen’s Thoughts on Jackson
Having played alongside Jackson at Villarreal, Filip Jorgensen has already expressed his admiration for the forward’s abilities. Jackson’s rapid development has caught the eye of his peers as well as fans.
Joe Cole’s Advice to Nicolas Jackson
Earlier in the season, Jackson faced criticism for some of his performances. However, he’s since improved and is now one of the first names on the team sheet for Maresca.
Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has offered some advice to the young striker: “He’s come in for a lot of stick. He’s a young striker learning his trade, and he’s learning it on the biggest stage. He’s scoring goals. The one thing is, I hope he’s confident. He’s had a great start, a great pre-season, and took his second goal at West Ham brilliantly.”
Jackson’s continued growth and recent performances suggest he’s well on his way to becoming a key player for Chelsea and Senegal.
