Ian Wright believes Nicolas Jackson has the potential to go to another level for Chelsea and turn his Stamford Bridge career around.

‘I?m seeing Nicolas Jackson by the way… I?ve got to mention him,’ the ex-Arsenal and England striker said on the Wrighty’s House podcast.

‘Something is happening there. If he gets that goalscoring right there is something in there, I?m telling you.
