John Obi Mikel has called on Chelsea to upgrade goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and striker Nicolas Jackson, urging the club to make improvements if they aim to challenge for the Premier League title. Mikel criticized Sanchez's errors and Jackson's lack of goals as major obstacles in Chelsea's bid for success.
John Obi Mikel, the former Chelsea midfielder, has urged the club to make significant upgrades if they are to contend for the Premier League title. Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Mikel criticized goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and striker Nicolas Jackson, both of whom he believes are not up to the level required for Chelsea to challenge for top honors.
Mikel pointed to Sanchez's recent errors, including a costly mistake against Manchester City, and Jackson's goal drought as key reasons why Chelsea should consider replacements. Sanchez currently holds the joint-most errors leading to goals in the Premier League, which further fuels Mikel's concerns. He stressed the importance of securing a top striker and goalkeeper to help Chelsea regain their competitive edge and push for a spot in the top four.
