Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is rapidly gaining popularity among fans at Stamford Bridge.
After scoring a hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur and adding another goal against Manchester City, the 22-year-old demonstrated his assertiveness during the intense 4-4 draw, seen telling Mateo Kovacic to be quiet in a video on X.
The incident occurred after Chelsea was awarded a penalty for Ruben Dias' foul on Armando Broja, which Cole Palmer converted.
Jackson had a slow start at Stamford Bridge but has turned things around in recent outings, impressively scoring four goals against City and Tottenham. While Chelsea are linked with other strikers like RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, the player's current form might eliminate the need to sign a new center-forward.
The performances of players like Broja, who won the penalty against City, could further influence the Blues' decision to acquire a No.9 in the upcoming transfer windows, depending on Jackson's continued goal-scoring and the team's position in the top four by 2024.
If Jackson maintains his form and Chelsea remain competitive, a new center-forward may not be necessary; otherwise, the club may explore the transfer market.
