Pochettino appears to have confidence in Jackson’s potential.
Can Nicolas Jackson establish himself as a consistent goal scorer for Chelsea? We believe he can. At just 22 years old, Jackson has ample time to improve in his role as a striker.
Although relatively new to England, the Senegalese international has shown promise in the Premier League, though his record benefited significantly from a hat-trick against a nine-man Tottenham Hotspur team.
In addition to being under the guidance of the excellent coach Pochettino, Jackson’s development as a top center-forward is expected to be enhanced.
However, it might take several years for Jackson to evolve into a reliable goal-scorer, and Chelsea is in urgent need of one presently. Sitting outside the top four, they’re distant from the Premier League title contenders.
To rejoin the title race, Chelsea requires a consistent goal-scoring source immediately. Pochettino might not afford the luxury of waiting for Jackson’s complete development.
This is why securing someone like Napoli’s Victor Osimhen would be ideal for Chelsea, although it’s a challenging task, especially in the midst of the season, as Napoli might be hesitant to part ways with their star player.
As a result, Pochettino might have to rely solely on Jackson for the remainder of the season.
