Hazard sends Chelsea serious advice on Nicolas Jackson

Despite Chelsea’s 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, all eyes were on the missed chances of Nicolas Jackson rather than the final score line.

The 23-year-old striker, who has recently signed a massive nine-year contract with the Blues, failed to find the back of the net in two golden opportunities, leaving fans and pundits questioning whether Chelsea made the right call.

However, club legend Eden Hazard had a more positive take, offering words of encouragement for the Senegalese striker.

“He does make some good runs,” Hazard said, praising Jackson’s off-the-ball movement. But Hazard also hinted at a potential tactical shift, suggesting, “I’d love to see him play behind a target man.”

With Christopher Nkunku coming off the bench to score the game-winning goal, the pressure mounts on Jackson to prove his worth, especially with doubts creeping in about his decisiveness in the final third. While Nicolas Jackson shows immense work rate, as Hazard commended, could Chelsea’s latest investment turn into a long-term gamble?

Jackson’s next few performances may just be crucial in determining whether he can silence the critics—or if Chelsea might regret handing him that extended contract.
