“Instead of managing that flop center forward Jackson or buying a new striker, you can just easily call this forgotten striker from his loan spell. He is ten times better than Jackson” – This is according to John Mikel Obi as he urges Chelsa to bring back an overlooked striker from loan spell amid search for new centre-forward

“He’s Ten Times Better Than Jackson” – John Mikel Obi Urges Chelsea to Recall Striker Amid Search for New Forward

Chelsea legend John Mikel Obi has suggested that instead of continuing with underperforming center-forward Nicolas Jackson or pursuing a new striker, the club should bring back David Datro Fofana, who has returned early from his loan spell. Mikel Obi believes Fofana is far superior to Jackson, stating, “He is ten times better than Jackson.”

Chelsea are reportedly on the hunt for a new striker, with names like Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap and Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel being linked to the club. However, no deals have been finalized as the transfer window nears its close. This has led Chelsea to reconsider internal options, and Fofana’s return could provide an immediate solution.

Fofana, an Ivorian forward, was initially loaned out for the season, first to Burnley and later to Turkish side Göztepe. His time in Turkey, however, was cut short due to an injury that required surgery, prompting Chelsea to recall him earlier than planned.

As of now, the club is assessing Fofana’s injury and determining how best to proceed. His return also opens up an international loan spot, which may allow Chelsea to make additional moves in the transfer market before the window shuts.
