John Obi Mikel wants Chelsea to sign a striker
Former midfielder John Obi Mikel has once again criticized Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson. He believes the Senegal star cannot be the club's first-choice striker if they wish to win the Premier League title, or even finish in the top four.
Speaking on his podcast, Mikel acknowledged that Chelsea were playing well but needed a striker who could convert the chances consistently. He believes Jackson is not clinical enough and not fit enough to lead the attack. He said:
"We are creating chances, we are still playing well, we are still doing the right things but we’re not clinical enough, we’re not scoring goals. We’ve talked about getting another top, top striker who can win us these kind of games, difficult games where if Nicolas Jackson is not firing on all cylinders you can give him a rest and then get someone else to come into the team and try to win us games and score goals.
