In a recent segment, Premier League players were asked about their childhood nicknames and Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson’s answer has caused quite a stir among fans.

Jackson, who hails from Senegal, revealed that he had multiple nicknames growing up including “Jacko” and “Nicks” but the most surprising one was “CR7” and “Neymar”. He explained that these were nicknames given to him by his friends who idolized these famous footballers.

However, fans were quick to roast Jackson for his CR7 nickname with one Twitter user jokingly suggesting that he should be arrested for it. Some fans even questioned the authenticity of the nickname, with one quipping that no one actually called him “Neymar”.

Despite the amusing reactions, Jackson has been a standout player for Chelsea since his move to the club and is known for his good sense of humor. It remains to be seen if his childhood nicknames will stick with him throughout his career
