“It has been a very difficult (start), but life is like this. My first hat-trick and I’m very happy I did it for the biggest club in England and everywhere.”
Cole Palmer, who provided one assist for the striker, also spoke about the striker’s start to life at the Stamford Bridge.
“Obviously it’s been a difficult start for Nicolas Jackson , there’s no hiding it but he was brilliant tonight. He just needs to work hard on the training pitch, keep his head down and he’ll get many more hat-tricks.”
Since Nicolas Jackson moved to Chelsea, he has played 13 matches for the club in all competitions, scoring 6 goals.
During the game against Tottenham Hotspur, Jackson scored his first goal for the Blues from a Raheem Sterling’s pass before completing his first hattrick for the club in injury time.

Will Jackson Break The Number 9 Curse At Chelsea?
Nicolas Jackson has been nicknamed “Neymar” in Senegal because of his brilliant dribbling skills.
He is a versatile player who can be deployed as an attacking midfielder and a top 9.
Jackson possesses an incredible and blistering pace with good positioning skills that make him very great in link-up play.
Ever since Didier Drogba left Chelsea, the number 9 position has not been filled to the expectations of the Blues’ fans.
There have been so many signings of different strikers to fill in that void but it’s been shambles with Aubameyang being the last of them.
