Nicolas Jackson, who was once thought to be Chelsea’s “new Drogba,” now only bores supporters with his incredible misses.

Nicolas Jackson once caused a stir among Chelsea supporters with a strong preseason showing. Against Wrexham, Brighton, and Newcastle in preseason friendlies, he recorded two goals and three assists.

Coach Pochettino was thrilled by this form, and supporters of Chelsea dubbed him “the new Didier Drogba”. But there are just two words that adequately describe what he said recently: disappointment.

Nicolas Jackson cost Chelsea 37 million euros, a hefty sum for a striker joining a major Premier League team. In exchange, Ollie Watkins, the home team at Stamford Bridge, has the third-highest scoring average in the tournament—behind only Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland. Regretfully for Chelsea, that’s the amount of “ten” lost opportunities rather than the goal scoring table.

Why does Nicolas Jackson receive criticism yet even the tournament’s highest scorers miss so much? The number of goals scored by the striker dubbed “the new Drogba” holds the key to the solution. Compared to the three players previously listed, he scored less goals.

Jackson only managed 13 goals in 38 games across all competitions, which is a dismal total considering the high expectations placed on him. The Senegalese striker has only scored 10 goals in 29 games, including 25 starts, just in the Premier League.

Following the game against Arsenal yesterday night, Jackson came under fire for making an awkward mistake when facing goalie David Raya. That play encapsulated every quality that the 22-year-old striker has. Although he is fast and adept at running past opponents, when he gets closer to the goal, he becomes a ridiculously awkward man.

Nicolas Jackson is currently a joke and a target of mockery on social media. This striker has “bored” Chelsea supporters.

On Chelsea’s social network X (Twitter), a fan commented, “This is probably the worst finish of all time.” Romelu Lukaku, the former striker for Chelsea, may potentially do better in similar circumstance, according to some sarcastically: “Lukaku could still shoot with his eyes closed.”

“Whoever found and recruited Jackson deserves to be investigated, because this player missed unbelievable situations compared to a professional football player playing in the Premier League,” read a lengthy and somewhat interactive remark.

Just a few days prior, Jackson eliminated Chelsea’s final opportunity to win the season championship. The squad led by coach Mauricio Pochettino has cause for remorse after losing to Man City 0-1 in the semi-finals. Jackson’s misses are the cause of this.

“I have never seen Jackson be the best player on the field and the worst player at the same time. Chelsea can win easily if he can shoot well, according to former England international Stuart. Peace made a television-related remark.

Jackson was not just a poor scorer, but he also made mistakes frequently and lacked a sense of competition. Almost as many yellow cards as goals he scored in the Premier League were given to him during the season—nine total. Nicolas Jackson was also fortunate to avoid receiving a straight red card following a foul on Takehiro Tomiyasu last night.

Previously anticipated to turn into a “bargain” for Chelsea, assisting this squad in resolving its striker need. But as it happened, this was a “you get what you pay for” deal from Stamford Bridge’s home team. The day Chelsea reclaims the top spot in England may be far off if Nicolas Jackson remаins the аttаck’s staple.
