Chelsea striker, Nicolas Jackson, has received high praise from his international teammate Kalidou Koulibaly, who believes he has the potential to win the coveted Ballon d’Or award.

Koulibaly, who is best known for his time at Chelsea as a defender, spoke highly of Jackson’s abilities and encouraged him to set his sights on winning the Ballon d’Or. “All the players who have won this trophy believed they could, and Nicolas should have the same mindset,” Koulibaly stated, according to Givemesport.com.

The Senegal international striker has been in fine form for Chelsea this season, and his performances have not gone unnoticed. Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, also praised the 23-year-old, stating that he is more than just a goalscorer, and his defensive contributions should not be overlooked. Maresca added that Jackson is continuously developing and has the potential to improve even further in the future.

In an interview with Fabrizio Romano, Maresca said, “He [Jackson] is not only a goalscorer, but he also contributes to the team’s defensive efforts. He has grown tremendously, and I believe he will continue to improve.”

Jackson’s impressive display has caught the attention of many, including his national teammate Koulibaly, who believes that setting his sights on winning the Ballon d’Or could be the key to unlocking his full potential.

As the Ballon d’Or is perceived as one of the most prestigious individual awards in football, winning it would undoubtedly elevate Jackson’s status in the sport. He will have to keep performing at his best and continue to believe in his abilities, just like the previous Ballon d’Or winners have.

Only time will tell if Jackson will one day hold up the highly-coveted trophy, but with the support and encouragement from his peers and managers, the talented striker certainly has all the tools to strive towards becoming one of the best players in the world
