Despite Jackson’s strong start this season, Mikel still believes Chelsea would benefit from signing another striker to enhance competition.
Speaking on the *Obi One Podcast*, Mikel emphasized that adding a quality forward could help keep Jackson performing at his best, much like past Chelsea stars who thrived under similar competition.
Currently, Chelsea have another competitive option in Christopher Nkunku, who has been prolific in European matches but has yet to break into the Premier League lineup consistently. Tonight, Chelsea faces Noah in the Conference League at Stamford Bridge, where promising young talent Tyrique George is expected to make his debut.
