Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has praised the development of striker Nicolas Jackson.

The center forward put in a powerful and eventful display for his team during a 3-2 win against Newcastle United.

Jackson got on the scoresheet, but also played a vital role in the team's other goals.

Asked about Jackson, Pochettino stated: "Yes, of course. Of course, we need to understand the player when they are young and arrive from out of England, they need to know first the Premier League.

They also need to know their teammates to perform. But he is performing really well.

"The effort is always there, how he presses, the work-rate is massive. Of course, he has the quality. With more games, with experience, he is going to be more calm in front of the goal and he is going to be more clinical.

We think he has the capacity but we need to keep believing that he can be the player, the striker, the offensive player that can score for Chelsea too many goals, a lot of goals."
