Nicolas Jackson is on fire with Chelsea this season. The 23-year-old is proving to be one of the top strikers in the league. Although life was not always easy for him. He had a very tough start with the Blues. He began playing regular first team football in 2022. His efforts with Villareal earned him a move to the Premier League. His first season was not that great. Particularly, the first half of it. At times, he was quite wasteful for the Blues. As per wikipedia, he only managed to score 17 times in 44 club appearances last season. The numbers are not that bad for a debut season. But certainly not good enough if you are a regular first team player for one of the top clubs in the world.
How did Nicolas Jackson improve?
The 23-year-old made some lifestyle changes. As per football.london, he has made some positive altercations to improve his physical and mental health. At the same time, he is more disciplined, following a strict diet and taking plenty of rest too. Also, Nicolas Jackson is monitoring his dietary in-take to ensure proper nutrition alongside a healthy sleep cycle. As a result, he is physically fit and able. So being an asset to Enzo Maresca and his team.
A striker for the future?
There were rumors of Chelsea pursuing Victor Osimhen again. But the 25-year-old made it clear that he would not move in January. Although there are still chances that the Blues could sign him in the summer. But if Nicolas Jackson continues to perform at such levels, they really would not have to. As per transfermarkt, the 23-year-old has 9 G/A in 10 appearances this season. Also, he has managed to form a deadly duo with Cole Palmer having 21 goal contributions between them so far. At the same time, he continues to improve. He could soon become a top player in the world of football.
