“Let’s be honest he’s not Chelsea level”, “Sell him out now” – Peter Crouch believes 22-year-old Chelsea star is not good enough for Chelsea after Brentford loss
Peter Crouch suggests Nicolas Jackson doesn’t posses the quality to be Chelsea’s first-choice striker after watching his latest performance.
Chelsea’s disappointment at Stamford Bridge continued on Saturday afternoon, suffering a 2-0 home loss against London rivals Brentford in the Premier League.
Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo netted second-half goals to gift the visitors all three points.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side recorded 17 shots during Saturday’s match, but only two were on target.
Nicolas Jackson was recalled to the starting line-up against Brentford to lead the line, but yet again he couldn’t find the killer touch in the opposition’s penalty box. The 22-year-old striker eventually saw his game fizzle out.
Pundit Peter Crouch isn’t certain that the Senegal international is good enough for Chelsea moving forward.
“Nicolas Jackson, let’s be honest, is not going to be the answer long-term. He does a lot of great work outside the box, but is he going to get you 15-20 goals? I don’t think so,” Crouch says
