Ben Chilwell, a defender for Chelsea, likened Nicolas Jackson to Jamie Vardy of Leicester City.
Jackson, who transferred to Chelsea from Villarreal during the summer transfer window, shown glimmers of his true ability while on Chelsea's preseason tour of the United States.
The international from Senegal got two goals and three assists.
In the first game of the 2023–24 Premier League this weekend against Liverpool, Jackson will try to lead Chelsea to victory.
“Personally, he is a very different kind of centre forward to a lot of centre forwards you see nowadays, in a positive way,” Chilwell told talkSPORT about Jackson.
“It is a nice surprise in a way to see a No. 9 that loves running in behind; it kind of takes me back to when I was at Leicester with Vards [Jamie Vardy]."
If you recall that Ben Chilwell enjoyed winning the Premier League with Leicester City where he played along with Jamie Vardy.
The Foxes went ahead to win the league under Claudio Ranieri as manager of Leicester City
He added: “So, hopefully, we can all give him the service that he needs and the service that I am sure he will get when he’s got pace like that and wants to get in behind defences.”
