Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has urged striker Nicolas Jackson to be his No. 1 favourite and that he will have to put his best foot forward for the home game against Newcastle (Oct 27).
Jackson was recently voted Senegal’s best foreign player of the year for the 2023-2024 season UFABET
This season, he has been a mainstay for Maresca, playing in 9 matches. Scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists. So, in another difficult game at Stamford Bridge, the Italian boss immediately shifted the burden to the 23-year-old star.
“We know for sure that he is an important player for the team.” he told the club’s TV channel.
“When he has the ball he can do incredible things. Scoring goals, providing assists, linking up with his teammates.”
“When he doesn’t have the ball he works hard. Nicolas presses the way we want him to press and does an incredible job for us.”
“The team also has Christopher Nkunku in the same position.”
“He will definitely help us because the season is long. We have a lot of games and sometimes we can adjust different strategies.”
“It’s likely that Christopher will have a bigger role than ‘Nico’.”
“We also have a young force that we can choose to use.”
