Chelsea and Senegalese striker, Nicolas Jackson has slammed former Chelsea player, John Obi-Mikel for criticizing him

After losing their opening Premier League fixture 2-0 against defending champions Manchester City, Mikel criticised the 23-year-old during the half-time break of the game.

He told his Obi One podcast: “We created chances, we haven’t taken them. And just an example of how Jackson finishes. You can see there, even though he was offside, he dribble [past] one or two or three players and the way he shot the ball!

“You need a striker who knows how to hit a ball back in the back of the net and that’s what we don’t have. 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. A bit like [Haaland], 91 goals [for City] that’s absolutely unbelievable.”

On Sunday, Jackson was on target for the Blues in their 6-2 romp over Wolves, opening the scoring with 98 seconds on the clock in what was the fastest goal in the 24-25 Premier League season so far.

After the clash, the striker controversially took to Instagram to repost that statistic on his story and also hit out at club legend John-Obi Mikel.

“@mikel_john_obi shut your mouth, don’t talk s***. We are killing ourselves for Africa,” he wrote.

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has revealed why Gabriel Magalhães and Jurrien Timber were out of the squad for their 1-0 win over AC Milan on Wednesday night.

Bukoyo Saka’s lone strike was all the Gunners needed to beat the Italian side in Singapore on Wednesday.

Magalhães did not take part in the game due to a niggle, while Timber is yet to return to full training.

After the game the former Manchester City assistant coach said he did not involve the two defenders in the game to minimise risk ahead of the new season.

The Spaniard would not want to use players who are not fully fit.

He said via Football London, “With Jurrien he is still not there. He is still not fully training yet with us. Gabby had a little niggle the other day in training.”

He noted that Magalhães has been out so long hence the need to manage him.

Speaking about Saka, who had an injury layoff last season, Arteta said the winger is back to his best.

Real Madrid have agreed to their manager Xabi Alonso’s two requests amid the ongoing summer transfer window.

As reported by Madrid Zone, via Cadena SER, Alonso has informed Real Madrid that he wants Dani Ceballos to stay at the club beyond this summer transfer window.

The report added that Alonso also told Real Madrid not to sell any midfielder this summer, adding that the Los Blancos agreed to his request.

Recall that Ceballos has been linked with a move away from Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

The former Arsenal star has been linked with a move to Spanish La Liga side Real Betis this summer.

This comes after Luka Modric’s departure from the Los Blancos earlier this month.

Alonso is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the new 2025/26 LaLiga campaign after their exit at the Club World Cup at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain some days ago.
