Chelsea could dip into the transfer market at the end of the 2023/24 season after Nicolas Jackson has flattered to deceive on multiple occasions in front of goal. The most recent example of the Senegal international’s plight came in the Blues’ FA Cup semi-final defeat against Manchester City.
Jackson missed three glaring opportunities as Mauricio Pochettino’s side failed to take advantage against a tired Man City team that played 120 minutes of football in midweek against Real Madrid. The forward was involved in a lot of the good build-up coming from the west London outfit at Wembley Stadium, but players in his position are ultimately judged on their ability to put the ball in the back of the net.
Had the 22-year-old done so more regularly in his debut season at Stamford Bridge, the club may have found themselves a lot higher in the Premier League table. But alas, the young forward has been erratic at times, and we’ve put together a shortlist of six names Pochettino could target to bolster his attacking options further.
