Since arriving at Chelsea from Villareal last summer, Nicolas Jackson has been put under a microscope by fans and football observers. His move to Stamford Bridge for a substantial fee put him in the spotlight, with high expectations for his performance on the pitch.
However, despite a promising start with 13 goals to his name, including ten in the Premier League, Jackson has recently faced a drought in front of goal, having only managed to find the back of the net once in his last eight matches in all competitions. This decline in form was accentuated by criticism for his lack of effectiveness in crucial matches, notably in the defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final.
Yet despite these challenges, Jackson remains optimistic about his future at Chelsea. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, the young Senegalese striker admitted he should have capitalized on more chances, but he remains confident the goals will come. “I think I should have scored more with the chances I missed,” Jackson said. “It’s good, but it’s not what I wanted to be when I came to play in the Champions League next season. Everything happens for a reason and we try to fight next year. » As Chelsea prepare to face Tottenham in a London derby, the Senegalese striker is determined to turn the tide and add to his goal tally.
