Chelsea’s young striker, Nicolas Jackson, yearns for guidance from the legendary Didier Drogba, expressing his desire to emulate the Ivorian icon’s success. Despite never having conversed with Drogba, who left a lasting legacy at Chelsea with over 100 goals, Jackson wears the same number 15 jersey once adorned by the revered striker.
Acknowledging the challenges he faces, Jackson voiced his admiration for Drogba, stating, “It would be amazing because he was a legend and I was watching him since I was young.” Reflecting on his roots, Jackson noted the cultural bond he shares with Senegalese former Chelsea player Demba Ba, whom he has had the opportunity to speak with, unlike Drogba.
Yearning for a chance encounter with Drogba, Jackson expressed his hope for valuable advice from the iconic figure, eager to follow in his footsteps and carve a similar path to greatness.
