Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson decided to have a bit of a pop at former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel after scoring against Wolves yesterday.
Mikel has been very vocal in criticising Chelsea and the recruitment they have made recently, and he has often honed in on Jackson’s poor finishing ability.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea player offered to Nottingham Forest, Sterling ready to drop wages, New ST & CB push, Plus loads more – Plans for last days of the window: plenty of names in here 👀
Jackson has clearly not taken the criticism well and decided to go back at Mikel after scoring a header against Wolves on Sunday.

As you can see above, Jackson’s agent has now taken to Instagram and called for peace from both Jackson and Mikel.
I agree with his agent here, there’s just no need for all this. Mikel was a Chelsea fan favourite offering critique and not abuse. Jackson should just let his goals and feet do the talking, that would gain my respect and many others much more. Prove them wrong mate!
As if Mikel was such a superstar that he has the right to pass judgment, lol! Dude was a glorified squad player for most of his career and now that he’s got himself a microphone he fancies himself an expert. It’d be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.
Kudos to Nico for clapping back at a blowhard! The kid had an excellent assist and a nice goal at the weekend and has every right to push back on Mikel and his incessant negativity. Do us all a favor “Chelsea News” and stop amplifying Mikel until he actually has something interesting to say.
