Nicolas Jackson, a striker for Chelsea, has retaliated at John Mikel Obi, a former midfield player, urging him to “shut your mouth.”

 

Jackson used Instagram to issue a warning to the club veteran following the latter’s criticism of the Senegalese player for his performance against Manchester City one week prior. Jackson scored in Chelsea’s thrilling victory over Wolves on August 25, 2024.

“Shut up, don’t talk shit, we’re killing ourselves for Africa,” he captioned a photo of Mikel on his Instagram story.

In what was perceived as harsh criticism, Mikel emphasized Jackson’s subpar performance in Chelsea’s opening-day 2-0 loss to Manchester City and expressed the opinion that the team would require a goal scorer to spearhead the attack.

He stated on beIN Sports, “You need a striker who knows how to hit a ball in the back of the net and that’s what we don’t have.”

“I am aware that I talk about him a lot and maybe I come out as disrespectful to him. I don’t treat him badly. I believe that Chelsea Football Club needs a talented striker who can score goals.

 

At the Molineux Stadium, Nicolas Jackson gave  their first goal of the year as they defeated Wolves 6-2.
