Former English keeper claims Chelsea star is wildly ‘underrated’

When it comes to the London Blues, the first name to pop-up in your mind from the current player would be Cole Palmer. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The 22-year-old has done a phenomenal job for them so far. He has gone on to become one of the world’s best players. In fact many fans were not happy how ‘low‘ he finished in the Ballon d’Or rankings. Former English keeper Ben Foster has made claims that people underrate 23-year-old striker Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea. The striker is having a great season so far.

How good is Nicolas Jackson for Chelsea?

For starters, the 23-year-old did not have a great debut season. But he managed to turn things around very well. His Premier League records are noteworthy. As per transfermarkt, he has 9 G/A in 10 club appearances this season. Chelsea were keen to find an alternative for Nicolas Jackson. They were eyeing a move for Victor Osimhen. But, Jackson is even managing to compete with the Nigerian man in terms of stats this season. It goes on to show just how well he is doing this time. As a result, he deserve a lot of praise for the same.

What did Ben Foster say?

As per thechelseachronicle, Ben Foster would state that the Senegalese is not getting enough credit. He deserves more ‘love‘. We think the same too. Especially considering the amount of hate he received last season. Fans had to be patient with the 23-year-old. He was missing open chances last term. But now Nicolas Jackson has been nothing short of being ‘clinical‘ for Chelsea. He could go on to become one of the top strikers in the world really soon. It will be interesting to see what he achieves this season. Especially considering that he has managed to bench Christopher Nkunku so far.
