Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson can be “one of the greatest strikers in the Premier League”, says Mauricio Pochettino, after his first goal for the club.
After drawing a blank in his first two outings for the Blues, the £32m ($37m) former Villarreal man got off the mark with a close-range finish against Luton Town, after Raheem Sterling’s double had set the hosts on the way to a 3-0 win.
The 22-year-old’s capture raised some eyebrows amid another transfer window where owner Todd Boehly has splashed the cash, but Pochettino not only believes Jackson’s first goal can open the floodgates, but also that he has the potential to become one of the competition’s all-time greats.
