Chelsea forward, Nicolas Jackson has fired back at former Blues midfielder Mikel Obi, who recently criticised his performance.

Jackson bluntly told the ex-Chelsea star to “shut his mouth” after Mikel suggested the striker squandered too many chances during last Sunday’s match against Manchester City.

Mikel had also hinted that Chelsea might want to explore signing Victor Osimhen as a potential alternative.

Meanwhile, the Senegalese forward quoted an image from a popular soccer page, #433, following his opener in Sunday’s clash with the Wolverhampton Wanderers, which the Blues won 6-2.

“Jackson answered his critics on the pitch by scoring Chelsea’s opening goal in their 6-2 victory over Wolves, marking the club’s fastest Premier League goal since 2017,” the post read.

Jackson celebrated after scoring during the EPL match between Wolves and Chelsea FC at Molineux.

Following the match, he took to social media to address Mikel’s comments directly.

“Mikel Obi, shut your mouth, don’t talk sh*t, we are killing ourselves for Africa,” Jackson wrote in a post on Instagram, making his feelings about the criticism clear.

The forward headed in at the back post inside the opening two minutes for Chelsea’s first goal.
