Fabrizio Romano feels Chelsea should consider making move for Artem Dovbyk
Thiago Silva’s comparison of Nicolas Jackson to Neymar after Chelsea’s victory against Everton has sparked considerable discussion. The 22-year-old attacker has been in sensational form since his arrival from Villarreal this summer, boasting an impressive tally of 13 goals and five assists in 36 games this season.
Jackson’s performance against Everton further justified Silva’s comparison, particularly with his goal just before halftime. A sublime cross from Marc Cucurella found Jackson in the box, where he skillfully controlled the ball with his left foot before turning and firing past Jordan Pickford at his near post.
Such moments of brilliance have drawn parallels to Neymar’s style of play, adding weight to Silva’s assessment.
Jackson’s impressive debut Premier League season now boasts 10 goals with five games remaining. After his latest goal, Jackson celebrated by mimicking Neymar’s famous celebration, a move that resonated with fans who recognized the similarity.
Following the match, the Senegalese forward shared a celebratory Instagram post, which garnered over 200,000 likes. In the comments, Thiago Silva playfully tagged Neymar, prompting a response from Jackson himself, who replied with laughing and heart emojis.
While the exchange may be interpreted as light-hearted banter, the comparison to Neymar highlights Jackson’s growing stature in the football world. Being likened to a player of Neymar’s caliber is undoubtedly a significant achievement for the young talent.
Despite a challenging season, Chelsea are now showing signs of improvement, which could positively impact their final standings. Earlier in the season, their performances suggested a potential finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
Chelsea’s recent string of victories has propelled them to ninth place in the Premier League standings. With seven games left in the season, their strong form suggests they have a real chance at European qualification if they maintain or improve their performances.
