The "new Neymar" is a nonsense, but Chelsea's new centre-forward does have some skills

After taking Nkunku, who had already been pre-purchased for 65 million euros, according to multiple media reports, the Blues have finalized Villarreal striker Nicolas Jacquesson. Will the Senegalese striker be a weak solution for the Blues?

While Barca did not have the money to sign Messi, they continued to bring in and plan to bring in more players. Chelsea's situation is similar, while being subject to financial fairness assessment after a single quarter of 600 million purchases, and needing to sell people aggressively, while continuing to make supplements.

After taking Nkunku, who had already been pre-purchased for 65 million euros, according to multiple media reports, the Blues have finalized Villarreal striker Nicolas Jacquesson. Romano said the player had a €35 million (£29.9 million) termination clause in his contract with the Yellow Potential, but the Blues opted to pay a higher amount in exchange for agreeing to installments. This week, Jackson will arrive in London for a medical check-up and sign a 5-year contract with the option to renew for 1 year. The Blues allegedly beat rivalry from Everton, AC Milan and a Bundesliga team to get the rookie.

Born in The Gambia, the 22-year-old is of Senegalese descent and has made three appearances for the Senegalese national team since 2022. At 1.86 meters tall, he was physically excellent and was named the "new Neymar" when the Senegalese team became popular. Although titles such as "New XX" have long been overused and worthless, at least it shows that he has a certain level of technology.

In 2019, Jakson landed in Europe to come to Yellow Diving, played from the Under-19s, and was also loaned to Mirandes in the second division, but the report card of 17 games and 1 goal is bleak. After a difficult adaptation period, Jacqueson gradually developed his talent and was promoted to the second team of Huang Qian.

In 2021, then-Huang manager Emery decided to gamble on this kid, "He's a player who is still growing, sometimes some players need to go to other places to grow, but we bet on him because he contributes more to the game. He has to gain more experience in front of the door, it's a learning process. ”

The 2022-23 season became a breakthrough season for Jaxon, with 12 goals and four assists in 26 La Liga appearances for the first team. At last year's World Cup, he traveled with the team and played in the group opening match in a 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands.

Jacqueson has nimble feet, fast pace, speed, good dribbling skills, and can complete the final blow in front of goal. Some say he's the "next Neymar," while others think he's more like his own hero Mane, but these analogies are a bit distorted. Although Jackson also played as a winger, he has been mainly a center forward in recent times. He is a modern center forward, more comprehensive, good technique, can combine strong body with speed technology, sometimes complete some brutal or exquisite breakthroughs, get rid of the entanglement of defenders, and even kill a bloody road in the crowd, and the individual ability is worthy of recognition.

Jacqueson came close to landing in the Premier League in January, but after Bournemouth negotiated a £22.5 million transfer fee with Wong, the deal was aborted at the last minute, as the Bournemouth team doctor believed that Jacquesson's hamstring injury prevented him from returning on March 10 and his contribution to the team's relegation battle would be reduced. As it turned out, Jackson did not return until March, but quickly burst into a blowout, scoring nine goals in the last eight La Liga rounds. Bournemouth is afraid to regret a little.

Optimistically, Jackson has a promising future. It's just that Chelsea boss Burley has assembled a team that is too young to buy so many potential stocks, and few people have yet to produce a steady output that meets the level of the Premier League giants. Whether Jacquesson is a weak solution for the Blues depends on Pochettino's planning and coaching skills.
