Chelsea’s problem isn’t Nicolas Jackson — it’s the lack of reliable goal scorers around him, writes DYLAN JOHNSON.
Writing for Soccermag, Johnson explains that the Senegalese striker has the pace, pressing ability, and versatility to thrive in Enzo Maresca’s system. Despite Chelsea’s struggles and a two-month injury layoff, Jackson has contributed a respectable goal tally. His link-up play, especially with Cole Palmer, adds another dimension to the attack, and his movement off the ball is among the Premier League’s best.
However, concerns remain. Jackson’s finishing is inconsistent, his decision-making in front of goal wavers, and injuries have disrupted his season.
The dilemma is clear: invest in an elite striker for immediate success or trust Jackson’s potential to develop into a top-class forward.
