Former Chelsea player and Nigerian international Mikel Obi has hit back at Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, saying, “Keep scoring and I’ll shut up.”
This comment comes after Obi’s recent criticism of Jackson, which has sparked tension between the two.
Obi made his remarks on his Monday podcast, The Obi One, following his comments on beIN Sport during Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City last weekend. Obi had criticized Jackson’s finishing, saying, “We created chances but didn’t take them. Jackson’s finishing was an example of that.”
In response, Jackson took to Instagram, writing, “Mikel Obi, shut your mouth, don’t talk sh*t, we are killing ourselves for Africa.” His post made his feelings about the criticism very clear.
Details on the ongoing exchange are expected to follow.
