Chelsea boss Pochettino again makes Jackson, Drogba comparison

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has again defended Nicolas Jackson.

Pochettino says it's fair to compare Jackson with Didier Drogba.

He said: You all are now seeing how he is improving. The most difficult thing was to support him when it was tough. I told you I really believe in him.

I believe he is going to be very successful here. He has the quality and the capacity. Now he is doing much better but still needs to improve a lot. The numbers are similar to Drogba in his first season.

That maybe gives the fans more belief in him and to be a little more patient with him, but always it depends on the circumstances. Now I hope people can start to understand he has the condition to be very good."
