“Go out there & finish Brentford” “Stop ranting” – Mikel Obi challenges Chelsea star to improve after his recent poor run at Chelsea
Former Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi has issued a challenge to Nicolas Jackson, urging the Senegalese striker to deliver consistent performances and score in big games.
Despite Jackson’s impressive form this season, with eight Premier League goals and three assists, he drew a blank in Chelsea’s recent win over Tottenham.
Mikel Obi, who has been a vocal critic of Jackson, believes the striker needs to raise his game and become more reliable in front of goal.
“If Nicolas Jackson is to become the main striker for the club, he needs to be scoring week in, week out. Especially in big games,” Mikel Obi said.
“He didn’t have his best game [against Spurs], but I’m sure he will bounce back.”
Mikel Obi’s comments will serve as a motivation for Jackson to rediscover his scoring form and prove himself as a top-class striker.
With Chelsea looking to climb the Premier League table, Jackson’s goals will be crucial in their pursuit of success.
