Pochettino: Jackson Can Become One of the Greatest Strikers in the World
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino believes that Nicolas Jackson has the potential to become one of the greatest strikers in the world. The 22-year-old Senegalese striker joined the Blues from Villarreal this summer and has already made a positive impression, scoring his first Premier League goal in the 3-1 win over Luton Town on Saturday.
Pochettino was full of praise for Jackson after the game, saying: "We knew his quality when we signed him, we saw that before. He is quality in the way he recovers the ball, but he also can finish. It is only a matter of time, once he settles into the Premier League, he will show it more. He has top quality."
Jackson is by no means a finished product, but he has all the attributes to become a world-class striker. He is tall, strong, and athletic, with a good touch and finishing ability. He is also a hard worker and is always willing to press and win the ball back.
With the right development, Jackson could become one of the most feared strikers in the world. He has the potential to be a top scorer for Chelsea and Senegal for many years to come.
