Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca has praised Senegal-born striker, Nicholas Jackson for following his display in the Blues’ Premier League 2-1 in over Leicester City on Saturday evening.

Maresca during a post match interview said Jackson is doing very well after he scored Chelsea’s first goal against Leicester.

Two goals from Jackson and Enzo Fernandez gave Chelsea the victory over the hosts at the Leicester Stadium.

Jordan Ayew scored a penalty in stoppage time for the Leicester team.

He said, “For me, he is doing very well. I have said many times, since we started, he is working hard on the ball and off the ball. He is making an effort to understand the way we want to play.

“We are very happy with the way Nico is playing on the ball but especially in the way he is playing off the ball – the way he is pressing. In this moment, we are very happy and we are sure he is going to get better game after game.”
