Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino believes new striker Nicolas Jackson will need “time to adapt” to the Premier League after an impressive performance in the pre-season win over Brighton.

Jackson scored a goal and provided two assists in Chelsea’s 4-3 victory over Brighton.

“I think when Chelsea sign a player like him it’s because they detect something important in quality and talent,” Pochettino said.

“He is a big talent, he needs time to adapt to the new club, the Premier League.

“He is young also, we need to help him to develop and evolve and be an important player for Chelsea.”
