Gary Neville has commended Nicolas Jackson for his transformative performances, which have led Chelsea to reconsider their transfer plans.
Initially scrutinized for erratic finishing, Jackson has silenced critics this season, scoring eight Premier League goals, including a crucial strike in Chelsea’s 3-0 triumph over Aston Villa.
From Backup to Key Striker
Jackson, once viewed as a secondary option, has steadily proven himself. His ability to adapt under pressure and deliver crucial goals is reshaping his perception within the squad and among fans.
Neville credited Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca for creating a calm and stable environment. This newfound consistency has allowed players like Jackson to thrive and gain confidence on the pitch
Title Aspirations Still a Long Shot
While Jackson’s form has been pivotal in Chelsea’s strong start, Neville remains doubtful of their title chances. He emphasized that Chelsea still lacks the experience and depth needed to challenge seasoned contenders like Liverpool and Arsenal.
Chelsea’s resurgence continues to be a work in progress, with Nicolas Jackson’s evolution at the forefront of their campaign.
