Darren Bent names Chelsea star he believes is “perfect” for how the club are playing under Maresca
Former Premier League striker Darren Bent believes Nicolas Jackson is perfect for the way Chelsea are playing under Enzo Maresca this season.
The Italian replaced Mauricio Pochettino over the summer having guided Leicester to the Championship title last season, and signed a five year contract at the club.
The 44-year-old has surprised many with the start to life he’s made at Stamford Bridge and the Blues currently sit third in the Premier League.
Bent believes Jackson is perfect for Maresca’s style of football
In a short space of time Maresca has been able to implement an identity and style of play, two things that were lacking last season, although there’s still plenty of room for improvement.
A number of players have improved under Maresca’s guidance already including Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo and Jackson.
Jackson has scored six goals and provided three assists in 11 league games this season, and Martin Keown has described him as one of the most feared strikers in the league.
