Nicolas Jackson Urged to Aim for Ballon d’Or by Former Chelsea Defender
Former Blues defender Kalidou Koulibaly has urged Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson to emulate Senegalese sensation Sadio Mane and aim for the coveted Ballon d’Or. With six goals and three assists in nine Premier League games so far this season, the 23-year-old forward has silenced detractors and given Chelsea momentum.
Koulibaly’s Guidance and Jackson’s Development
Despite scoring 17 goals in his debut season, Jackson, who recently inked a two-year contract deal, said that he was not happy with it. Nonetheless, Koulibaly is impressed by Jackson’s better play this season and thinks he has what it takes to become the best football player in the world.
“His disposition and disposition are positive. He will, in my opinion, become Senegal’s story, much like Sadio Mane did.”
