‘I got a text’ – Alan Shearer shares what he has just heard from Chelsea about Nicolas Jackson
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Pundit Alan Shearer has shared insights he received from Chelsea about striker Nicolas Jackson, stating that his previous criticism of the 22-year-old’s movement had not been exaggerated. According to Shearer, Chelsea has been actively addressing this aspect in their training sessions.
Jackson demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess in the recent 4-4 draw against Manchester City, contributing to a pulsating match for Chelsea. While it had been a relatively quiet evening for the Senegal international, he found the net by following up on a Conor Gallagher shot, leveling the score at 3-3 at the time.
With four goals in a week, including matches against Tottenham and Manchester City, Jackson has been a key contributor to Chelsea’s point haul in challenging fixtures. In a season where many attackers are struggling to find the net, Jackson’s six goals so far mark a commendable achievement.
Shearer, who had previously criticized Jackson’s movement, shared that he received a message from Chelsea confirming that the critique was warranted. However, they also conveyed that they had been working on addressing those concerns on the training ground. Shearer noted the improvement in Jackson’s performance and attributed it to the striker’s growing confidence, especially after his recent hat-trick.
As Jackson faces competition for his position from the returning Armando Broja, who won a penalty in his brief appearance against Manchester City, the dynamics of Chelsea’s attacking options add an intriguing element to their future matches under manager Mauricio Pochettino.
