Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has backed Nicolas Jackson to become “prolific” for Chelsea after seeing him miss a good goalscoring chance in the 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea had chances before and after Forest forced a breakthrough, but were unable to take any of them and ended up drawing a blank.

Pochettino has said when asked if the Senegal international can become a prolific presence for Chelsea: “Yes, of course. but he needs time. He needs to adapt to the Premier League.

“He is doing a fantastic job but afterwards, to score is not easy. Sometimes he is a little bit rushed in his decisions but this is only to say he needs to settle himself, be more calm and more relaxed and for sure he is going to score goals.”
