Nicolas Jackson hits back at Mikel Obi after scoring in Chelsea’s win over Wolves

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has hit back at club legend John Mikel Obi, telling the ex-midfielder ‘shut your mouth’.

Jackson, who scored in Chelsea’s big win over Wolves on August 25, 2024, took to Instagram to warn the club legend after the latter criticized the Senegalese for his performance against Manchester City a week ago.

“Shut your mouth, don’t talk sh*t, we are killing ourselves for Africa,” he wrote on his Instagram story while tagging Mikel.

Mikel, in what was deemed as brutal criticism, highlighted Jackson’s poor finishing in Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on matchday one and opined that the club would need a goal-poacher to lead the team’s forward line.

“You need a striker who knows how to hit a ball in the back of the net and that’s what we don’t have,” he said on beIN Sports.

“I know I talk so much about him and sometimes I sound like I disrespect him. I don’t disrespect him. I think at Chelsea Football Club we need a top striker who can get us a goal.”

Nicolas Jackson scored Chelsea’s first goal of the season when he opened the scoring in their 6-2 win over Wolves at the Molineux Stadium.
