Nicolas Jackson has only scored once in his first four Premier League games for Chelsea but his raw potential is clear and there is much more to come; watch Bournemouth vs Chelsea live on Sky Sports Premier League from 1pm on Sunday; kick-off 2pm
"It is only a matter of time," he said after Jackson scored his first goal for the club against Luton last month."Once he settles into the Premier League, he will show it more. I have no doubt that he can become one of the greatest strikers in the Premier League.
There have only been 11 instances of players surpassing that total for shots over the last three campaigns in the Premier League and the players in question have scored a minimum of 17 goals. In that context, the recent rushed decisions mentioned by Pochettino in the wake of the Forest game are best put down to entirely understandable nerves in unfamiliar surroundings.
Most impressive, though, is that Jackson also comes out on top for runs challenging the opposition's backline, a statistic which reflects his ability to stress and stretch defences, and that, even in a new-look team still in the process of gelling, his runs are regularly being targeted by passes. With Jackson's movement causing so many problems centrally, Sterling has relished greater freedom on the ball on their right flank, often operating as Chelsea's most advanced player despite ostensibly playing as a winger.
