EPL: They are totally different – Ex-Chelsea forward claims it is unfair to compare Jackson with Drogba

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, a former Chelsea forward, argues that it is wrong to compare Nicolas Jackson’s style of play to that of Didier Drogba, a club legend.

For £32 million, Jackson transferred from Villarreal to Chelsea during the summer transfer window.

The Senegalese player has adapted quickly to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.

Hasselbaink responded to a question regarding Jackson’s potential by saying the 22-year-old has “a lot of potential,” but added that we shouldn’t compare him to Drogba because they are completely unrelated.

“They are entirely distinct. In an interview with Sky Sports on Friday Night Football, Hasselbaink said, “If you talk about Didier Drogba, it is not fair on the boy.

But everyone is aware of how well he works and how fast he runs.
