Nicolas Jackson has been making quite the impression in the first few games of the season for Chelsea. His performance in the recent match against West Ham has caught the attention of none other than Harry Redknapp, who believes Jackson is in for a fantastic season ahead. And it's not just Redknapp who has taken notice, as Jackson has also been selected for the Premier League Team of the Week by BetVictor.
In the game against West Ham, Jackson scored two goals and provided an assist for his teammate Cole Palmer, helping Chelsea secure an impressive 3-0 victory on the road. This brings his tally to four goals and two assists in just five games, a remarkable feat for the 23-year-old Senegal international.
Redknapp, who has named Jackson as his "star man" in the Team of the Week, couldn't help but make a bold comparison, stating that Palmer's numbers are on par with those of Erling Haaland. He also praised Jackson's ability to constantly create chances and goals, making him a complete attacker. Redknapp believes that this performance against West Ham is a sign of what's to come for Jackson, as long as he can stay fit.
But it's not just Redknapp who has recognized Jackson's talents. Alan Shearer has also included him in his Premier League Team of the Week, and has given Manager of the Week honors to Chelsea's boss Enzo Maresca. Shearer was particularly impressed by Jackson's display in the game, praising his two excellent finishes and all-around ability.
Maresca's tactics seem to be bringing out the best in Jackson and the rest of the talented Chelsea squad, as they are emerging as a real threat in the Premier League. And with Jackson leading the attack, it's clear that Chelsea has a bright future ahead.
