The striker for Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson, has made it plain to Didier Drogba—the club’s legend—that he wants assistance from the Ivorian on how to emulate him.
While acknowledging that he had never spoken to Drogba—who amassed over 100 goals for Chelsea while he was a player at Stamford Bridge—Jackson made this statement.
The Senegal international currently plays for Chelsea, where he once wore the same number that Drogba wore while playing for the Premier League’s west London team.
But Jackson’s life has so far been easy, just like it was for Drogba when he initially came to Chelsea.
Jackson told talkSPORT, “It would be amazing because he was a legend and I was watching him since I was young.”
However, since I’m from Senegal and he’s from Cote d’Ivoire, we never communicate.
It differs from Demba Ba. He is Senegalese and was a player for Chelsea in the past, which is why I chatted with him. But we never talk, Didier. I look forward to seeing him again so he can advise me on how to emulate him.
