Brighton and Chelsea faced off on Saturday night in the Premier League Summer Series, treating fans to a seven-goal epic in Philidelphia. Nicolas Jackson, who joined the Blues several weeks ago, played a prominent role in the friendly.

The former Villarreal striker spoke to the press about the importance of new manager Mauricio Pochettino. The Senegalese hopes the Argentinian coach will bring success to the London club.

“You just know he is the man, the one in charge. Let me repeat. I am so, so happy right now. Pochettino is amazing. The running is fine, some players would say it’s not, but for me, no problem,” he said.

Moreover, the 22-year-old spoke about what it was like to score his first goal in a Chelsea shirt. “So when I score my first goal at the Bridge, I think I will be speechless. All I’lI say is, just you wait for my big smile! Blues, thank you for welcoming me with open arms. I feel the love already.”
