Mikel Obi to Nicholas Jackson: “Keep scoring and I’ll shut up”

Obi and Jackson scaled

Mikel Obi, the former Chelsea and Nigerian international, has sparked a new wave of debate in the football world with his recent comment directed at Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson. During his Monday podcast, The Obi One, the 37-year-old addressed the ongoing tension between him and Jackson, which began after Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City last weekend.

Mikel had earlier criticized Jackson’s finishing abilities on beIN Sport, stating, “We created chances, we haven’t taken them. And just an example of how Jackson finishes.” This comment didn’t sit well with the Senegalese striker, who took to Instagram to express his displeasure. “Mikel Obi, shut your mouth, don’t talk sh*t, we are killing ourselves for Africa,” Jackson responded, making it clear that he was unhappy with the critique.

In his latest podcast episode, Mikel responded to Jackson’s backlash with a straightforward challenge: “Keep scoring and I’ll shut up.” The bold statement has added fuel to the fire, as fans and pundits alike weigh in on the brewing tension between the former Chelsea stalwart and the club’s current striker.

This exchange has highlighted the pressure on Jackson to prove himself as a reliable goal-scorer for Chelsea, a club that has struggled with finishing in recent matches. Mikel’s challenge to Jackson not only puts the spotlight on the striker’s performance but also reflects the high expectations placed on players representing a club with Chelsea’s stature.

As the situation unfolds, football enthusiasts will be watching closely to see how Jackson responds on the pitch and whether he can rise to the challenge laid down by one of Chelsea’s former greats.
