The Senegalese striker completed a move to Chelsea earlier this summer - the Blues paying Spanish side Villarreal around £32m for his services. He has been Chelsea's first-choice striker since then following an injury to fellow summer signing Christopher Nkunku. He has made five appearances for Pochettino's side. Jackson's only goal so far came in the 3-0 victory over Luton at Stamford Bridge. The 22-year-old should really have notched his second goal for the Blues against Nottingham Forest but blazed a great opportunity over the crossbar late on. Speaking after Saturday's slender defeat to the Reds, Chelsea boss Pochettino was full of praise for Jackson but claimed he still has a lot of work to do. He said: 'I think in the future we will be talking differently. He needs time to adapt to the Premier League. He is doing a fantastic job but scoring is not easy. 'He is a little bit rushed in his decisions. He needs to be a little bit more calm and relaxed and for sure he is going to score goals.' Pochettino had already talked up Jackson's abilities after his debut goal for the Blues against Luton. The Argentine claimed that the young forward had the potential to eventually become a legendary figure in the Premier League. How many goals do you think Nicolas Jackson will score this season?
