Earlier in the season, Jackson faced criticism from former Super Eagles midfielder Mikel Obi over his goal-scoring struggles for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYou need a striker who knows how to find the back of the net, and that\u2019s something we\u2019re missing,\u201d Obi remarked.<\/a> \u201cI know I often criticise him [Nicolas Jackson], and it may come across as disrespect, but that\u2019s not my intention.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jackson responded to Obi\u2019s comments after an impressive performance in Chelsea\u2019s clash against Wolves, where he opened the scoring and assisted Cole Palmer in the 45th minute.<\/p>\n

\n

Taking to social media, Jackson fired back at Obi, saying, \u201cMikel Obi, shut your mouth, don\u2019t talk shit. We are killing ourselves in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On a more positive note, Zlatan took to social media to wish Jackson success, writing, \u201cMore goals [in] 2025.\u201d<\/em> The Senegalese forward responded warmly, saying, \u201cAmen bro, bless you.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Jackson was part of Chelsea\u2019s starting XI in their recent 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace but couldn\u2019t find the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Despite this, he remains hopeful of surpassing his nine Premier League goals this season as the campaign progresses.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
