KIERAN GILL: Nicolas Jackson wore Didier Drogba's old shirt in Chelsea's debut season at Stamford Bridge, and the Blues' £32 million man is expected to match the Ivorian's count in his debut season at Stamford Bridge

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 12, 2024
KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Nicolas Jackson can now say that he does not have more Premier League yellows than goals for the first time. That was a survey that followed Chelsea's newest striker, a stick with which he was chastised for being more bookable than bankable. It was a fast-thinking flick against Newcastle, which resulted in Jackson's ninth strike of the season, with Chelsea unbeaten when the 22-year-old from Senegal netted. He's slowly but surely, after signing in the summer for £32 million. Chelsea's leadership is by no means straightforward. Enough have tried and failed, from Romelu Lukaku and Fernando Torres to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alvaro Morata, all of whom wore the No 9 shirt, which is considered cursed in the corridors of their Cobham training ground.
