CHELSEA manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that he has actually been impressed by summer signing Nicolas Jackson.
With the club looking to spend some serious money to improve that attack over the summer – the decision was made by the board to splash £34 million and bring Nicolas Jackson to the Premier League.
The young striker had started to make a name for himself over in La Liga with Villareal and had fast become one of the most dangerous strikers in the Spanish League with his speed and quality in front of goal.
However – the new signing has just one goal since joining the club, despite starting all four league games, and there has been many pundits already claiming that he is not yet ready to lead that attack, that are missing a proven striker.
But despite the fact Jackson has only netted one goal this season – Pochettino has now come out and revealed that he has actually been impressed with the performances of the striker so far this campaign.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID –
He told the Evening Standard that he has no doubts that the player will come good after he is given time to adapt to the Premier League.
He said: “I think in the future we will be talking differently. He needs time to adapt to the Premier League. He is doing a fantastic job but scoring is not easy.
“He is a little bit rushed in his decisions. He needs to be a little bit more calm and relaxed and for sure he is going to score goals.
“Yes, we have to prove we can score. Of course, we need to be more clinical in front of goal and not to do the mistake we did today, to give the chance to Nottingham.”
