“He’s not helping right now” – Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton says one Chelsea player is not helping the club
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has voiced concerns about Chelsea’s ongoing issues in the goalscoring department, highlighting Nicolas Jackson’s struggles to find the back of the net. The 22-year-old has been facing challenges in converting goal-scoring opportunities, evident in Chelsea’s recent 0-0 draw against Bournemouth.
Sutton emphasized that Chelsea’s goal-scoring troubles have persisted for an extended period. The team has scored just five goals in five Premier League games this season, raising concerns about their performance in this crucial aspect of the game.
To address this issue, Sutton suggested that the return of Christopher Nkunku from injury could significantly aid Chelsea, provided he can adapt to the Premier League. Nkunku, known for his goal-scoring abilities demonstrated at RB Leipzig, was showing promise during Chelsea’s pre-season.
Looking ahead, Sutton emphasized the need for a natural No.9 in Chelsea’s lineup, potentially a striker with more experience than Jackson. He mentioned the speculation around a potential move for Ivan Toney, suggesting that Toney leading the line with Jackson as his deputy could be a suitable solution.
Sutton warned that if the goal-scoring issues persist and no one steps up, securing a top-four position might become a significant challenge for Chelsea. He emphasized the importance of addressing this concern promptly to avoid potential setbacks in the season and maintain competitive positioning.
