The early months of the season have shown strong signs that several Chelsea players are finding their stride and truly enjoying their football under Enzo Maresca’s guidance.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chelsea’s lineup appears more settled and cohesive than it has in recent years—a stability for which head coach Enzo Maresca deserves considerable praise.
Recently, Paul Scholes even admitted he had underestimated Maresca’s impact at Chelsea, as the coach has swiftly and positively asserted his authority. Levi Colwill, Chelsea’s 21-year-old center-back, has expressed admiration for teammate Nicolas Jackson, highlighting his growth and skill.
Colwill views Jackson, Chelsea’s 23-year-old striker, as an “incredible” talent who is showing significant progress in his all-around game.
“Nico is a phenomenal player. He’s still so young, and last season was his first in the Premier League. I think he did a fantastic job with the chances he created and the goals he scored, but he offers our team so much more than what people notice,” Colwill shared on Chelsea’s official website.
“People often focus on goals, as he’s a striker, but he brings so much more to us. He advances us up the pitch, wins fouls, and has an impressive turn on the ball, like in the match against Newcastle.
“He’s an exceptional talent, and step by step this season, he’s constantly improving.” Former player Ben Foster has noted that Jackson’s contributions often go unappreciated, although it seems recognition for his quality is gradually growing.

With six goals and three assists across 10 appearances this season, Jackson’s comprehensive skill set is proving just as valuable as his scoring ability.
Chelsea’s decision to retain Jackson, despite summer transfer rumors, appears wise. Aston Villa reportedly explored signing him in August, yet staying in London has allowed Jackson to overcome initial challenges and solidify his role as Chelsea’s primary striker—a notable feat given Christopher Nkunku’s presence on the roster.
For a £32 million investment, Jackson is shaping up to be a stellar acquisition for Chelsea, and a valuable asset for the long term.
