Blues legend DEMANDS Chelsea sign world class star – wants Stamford Bridge move
John Obi-Mikel has demanded that CHELSEA sign a ‘top striker’ after slamming Nicolas Jackson’s performance against Manchester City at the weekend which showed that he is not ready to lead that Blues attack.
The club lost 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic, with new manager Enzo Maresca unable to get off to a winning start.
The club were largely second best to the Citizens but did create some good chances to score – but the finishing of Jackson was once again a let-down and something that needs to be sorted before the close of the transfer window.
Mikel was not impressed with the performance Jackson at the weekend and reiterated that his former club was lacking a world-class goal scorer: ‘We created chances, we haven’t taken them. And just an example of how Jackson finishes,’ the exasperated former midfielder said on beIN Sports.
‘You can see there, even though he was offside, he dribbles past one or two or three players and the way he shot the ball!
‘You need a striker who knows how to hit a ball back in the back of the net and that’s what we don’t have. I know I talk so much about him and sometimes I sound like I disrespect him. I don’t disrespect him.
‘I think at CHELSEA Football Club we need a top striker who can get us a goal. A bit like [Haaland], 91 goals [for City] that’s absolutely unbelievable.’
