He’s very lively and direct – Paul Merson backs new Chelsea signing to take the Premier League by storm

Paul Merson has backed new Chelsea signing Nicolas Jackson to take the Premier League by storm next season.

“Nicolas Jackson looks like a great player,” Merson told Sportskeeda. “He’s very lively and direct, and he doesn’t mess about.

“He can score a goal and make a goal as well. He’s linked up very well with Mudryk so far, and both of them have been very impressive in pre-season.

“I’ve been very surprised with Jackson so far. I know it’s only pre-season, but what I’ve seen has been ample.

“He’s a handful, and I’d definitely say that he’s going to surprise people this season.”
