EPL: He’s nervous – Ian Wright feels sorry for Chelsea star

Arsenal legend, Ian Wright has pitied Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson, saying the Senegal international is nervous.

According to Neville, Jackson is scared and nowhere near the level to the point where he can lead Chelsea.

He also hit out at Mykhailo Mudryk for his sub-par start to life at the Blues.

Recall that Jackson joined the Premier League west London club from Spanish La Liga club Villarreal ahead of the 2023-24 season.

The 22-year-old has often shown signs of a lack of composure and consistency despite scoring seven goals in 18 appearances across all competitions for Mauricio Pochettino’s side so far this term.

Speaking on the Wrighty’s House podcast, Wright, “I feel sorry for Jackson. He is nowhere near the level to the point where you can see it, you can see it. He is nervous, he’s scared, he’s worried because he’s not near it.

“Mudryk, he’s still playing exactly how I saw a couple of videos of him when he’s doing his stuff, running 100 miles an hour, not slowing down.”
