Enzo Maresca has heaped praise on Nicolas Jackson, describing him as the "perfect number nine" for Chelsea.
The Senegalese forward has been pivotal for the team this season, scoring 9 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions. Despite a challenging period marked by injuries, Jackson's presence on the pitch has consistently elevated Chelsea's performance.
"It's not summer now. If we can have a copy of Nico, it's OK," Maresca remarked. "I have said many times, and you can see as well, with Nico we are a better team. Nico is the one we need."
The Chelsea manager's confidence in Jackson underscores the striker's importance to the squad, particularly as they prepare for a crucial Premier League clash against Ipswich Town this weekend at Stamford Bridge. The match, scheduled for Sunday, April 13, 2025, will see Chelsea aiming to solidify their position in the top four.
Maresca's faith in Jackson is not misplaced. The striker's ability to hold up play and create opportunities for his teammates has been invaluable. "My perfect number nine is exactly Nico Jackson. We already have a number nine," Maresca reiterated, emphasizing the team's reliance on Jackson's unique skill set.
