John Mikel Obi has commended Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson for his outstanding performance this season, particularly following his two-goal contribution in the team’s 3-0 win against West Ham United. During a recent episode of his YouTube podcast, Mikel noted that Jackson is effectively silencing his critics, having now scored four goals in the Premier League.
Mikel remarked, “Nicolas Jackson wants the best for Chelsea Football Club. There’s a remarkable player in him, and it’s fantastic to witness him embracing the advice I’ve given him to improve.” He expressed his satisfaction with Jackson's progress, emphasizing the quality of the goals he scored in the match.
Additionally, the former Chelsea midfielder clarified that his earlier criticisms were meant to inspire Jackson to elevate his performance rather than diminish his abilities. “We’re not here to belittle anyone or criticize the players,” he stated, highlighting his supportive approach to the young striker’s development.
This praise comes after Jackson faced significant scrutiny at the start of the season. His recent performances suggest he is adjusting well to the challenges of the Premier League, and his goals will be crucial for Chelsea as they strive for success this season. Mikel's encouraging comments may provide Jackson with the confidence boost he needs to continue his growth in English football.
