Chelsea signing announces ‘i want to be a legend’ at Stamford Bridge after summer move

Summer Chelsea signing Nicolas Jackson has spoken about drawing inspiration from Didier Drogba’s legacy at Stamford Bridge – and is confident his impressive start is the beginning of something special.

Jackson was the shock transfer arrival for CHELSEA this summer after the Blues board made the decision to splash the cash and bring him to the Premier League in a deal worth £34 million.

He is a man that was making a real name for himself over in La Liga with Villareal – and was fast becoming one of the most talked about young strikers in Europe after His goal-scoring exploits with the Spaniards.

He has been at Chelsea for a few weeks – and has now admitted that he is looking to be as successful at Stamford Bridge as his icon Didier Drogba was.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID – 

‘Of course, I assisted after two minutes on my debut [against Wrexham], and I am so happy because scoring for Chelsea is a big, big thing. I am hopefully going to be a big player for this club.

‘If I can be as successful as the likes of Drogba, Demba Ba and [Eden] Hazard, then I will be happy. They are CHELSEA legends. If I want to be considered a legend, I have to be even better than them.’

‘Life’s been going by quickly. Back in England, I’m still in a hotel. Next, I’m buying a house near Cobham. My family are all back in Senegal, but they’ll be visiting me sometimes, for sure,’ he adds, still smiling and grinning.

‘I’m looking forward to going into London properly when I return from America. This time, not to do my VISA but to shop around Soho, to chill, and to try new food. I love my fashion, but I don’t like to show it a lot.

‘If you came to my house, you’d see my closet and be impressed, believe me.’
