Nicolas Jackson - Chelsea FC
Long critical of Nicolas Jackson, John Obi Mikel has recently softened his stance. The former Chelsea FC player now acknowledges that the Senegalese striker is being missed by the team this season.
Loaned to FC Bayern Munich during the last summer transfer window, the Senegalese international has not enjoyed significant playing time in the Bundesliga. Facing stiff competition, notably from Harry Kane, he has often had to settle for a secondary role. Despite this, he boasts solid statistics with 9 goals and 4 assists in 27 appearances, only 11 of which were starts. A return that, according to former Nigerian international John Obi Mikel, confirms his usefulness. On his podcast, the former Nigerian international admitted: "We are feeling the absence of Nicolas Jackson."
Beyond the numbers, it is particularly Nicolas Jackson's profile that seems to be missing for the Blues. His mobility, his ability to stretch defenses and create space brought a different dimension to the London attack. Qualities that are currently lacking in the club's offensive play. "What he brought us, no other striker has brought us. Yes, Jackson is being missed," he added.
Scheduled to return to London at the end of the season, the future of the Senegalese international striker remains uncertain. His name has been linked with a move to AC Milan. However, in light of the recent comments from the former Chelsea player, a reintegration into the Chelsea squad cannot be ruled out.
