Nicolas Jackson: the solution to Chelsea striker woes?

Nicolas Jackson is showing all the signs of being a genuine talent for The Blues. Following his impressive performance in the U.S. opener against Wrexham, where he contributed with an assist, Jackson continued to shine in the latest match, once again setting up a goal and finding the back of the net himself.

With only two games under his belt as a Chelsea player, ‘Nics’ Jackson is already demonstrating his ability to create goal-scoring opportunities. This attribute has been a missing element in the team’s attacking prowess for quite some time, making Jackson’s presence even more valuable.

It’s safe to say that Jackson has exceeded initial expectations, and his current form suggests that he will play a much more significant role in the upcoming season than initially anticipated. If he maintains this level of performance, his impact on the team’s success could be greater than anyone could have imagined. Chelsea fans have every reason to be excited about what the future holds for this promising newcomer.

Mykhailo Mudryk is a confidence player

Ever since Mykhailo Mudryk’s arrival at West London in January 2023, he has been determined to showcase his abilities to the fans, and there are now promising signs that the Ukrainian winger is set to have a breakthrough season. Against Brighton, the 22-year-old displayed his goal-scoring prowess and blistering pace, leaving supporters excited for what’s to come.
