Chelsea should keep Nicholas Jackson as their main striker

-

 Chelsea should stick with Nicholas Jackson as their main striker in the 2024-2025 season. Nicholas Jackson joined Chelsea from Villareal last summer in a deal worth €35 million. He signed an eight-year deal at Stamford Bridge indicating the club had long-term plans for him.

Jackson had a mixed first season at Chelsea. Jackson scored 19 goals in every competition and assisted 8 times during the 2023-2024 campaign. These are not bad numbers for a young striker in his first season in a new league.

Even though the Senegalese has only spent one season in Chelsea, the Blues are working to bring in a new striker to provide competition for Jackson. However, Signing a new striker would be a bad idea and hinder Jackson’s development.

Jackson should be afforded a new season to allow him to gel with the team and help him get to his best form. If Cole Palmer will have the same impact as he did last season, then much pressure will be relieved on Nicholas Jackson and this could help him improve his performance.

Additionally, Chelsea could also rely on goals from Nkunku during the 2024/2025 season. The French international was injured for the majority of the 2023/2024 season hence the Chelsea fans did not see him at his best. If he remains fit during the 2024/2025 season, he could help Chelsea solve its goals problem.

The success and pressure on Nicholas Jackson heavily rely on the form and performance of Cole Palmer and Nkunku. If the two forwards can provide enough goals hence the pressure on Nicholas Jackson would be minimal.

Chelsea will spend most of this transfer window trying to sign a striker. Chelsea has various strikers in their books including Lukaku, Jackson, and Fofana. However, all these strikers have had an underwhelming time in Chelsea hence the Blues are looking to strengthen in that position. This transfer window has been crazy for the Blues because they have been linked with every striker in the market. Various media houses reported that Chelsea was looking to bring in Victor Osimhen from Napoli. However, Chelsea pulled out of the race due to Napoli’s high valuation of the striker After pulling the plug on Victor Osimhen, Chelsea’s main target was Benjamin Sesko. However, the player signed a new contract at Leipzig and rejected the Blue's advances.  Chelsea continued the search for a new striker and approached Aston Villa to acquire the services of Jhon Duran. However, this also cooled down as the team did not agree on their valuation of the players. The latest name to be linked with the

Chelsea Consider using Nkunku as a striker

-
Media outlets have been reporting that Chelsea has been in the market in search of a striker to compete with Nicholas Jackson. Chelsea have failed to agree deals for their top targets including Benjamins Sesko and Jhon Duran. The blue cooled their interest in Napoli’s Victor Osimhen because his style of play does not fit in Enzo Maresca’s system. Even though Chelsea continues their search for a striker, they have an asset in their current squad that can play the striker’s position. Nkunku joined Chelsea from Leipzig in a deal worth approximately £ 70 million. However, last season, the 26-year-old was limited to 14- appearances due to constant injuries. This means that the Blues supporters did not have the opportunity to see Nkunku at his best last season. Nkunku is a versatile forward and can play in any position in the forward line. Chelsea is considering using Nkunku as a striker in case they fail to land their targets during the transfer window. The forward has a lot of experience a
