John Obi Mikel has not been shy to be vocal on what is going on at Chelsea right now.
The former midfielder was critical of the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, saying that he cannot see how the Englishman helps the side going forwards.
Mikel has also torn into the likes of Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi, saying that the duo are not good enough to play for Chelsea.
Another player who has not escaped criticism is Nicolas Jackson, however the striker bit back after finding the net against Wolves earlier this season.
He called for the Nigerian to have more positivity surrounding him, and responded with another goal in his next game against Crystal Palace.
Mikel says Nicolas Jackson needs to improve his finishing
Mikel has now commented on this incident, and while he said he is a good player, he still believes his finishing has to improve.
He said to beIN SPORTS: “I’ve always said what I’ve said about Nicolas Jackson. He is a good player, there is not once I have ever said he is a bad player.
“The only criticism is his finishing needs to be much better. In terms of giving us what we want, being in the right place at the right time, he does for the team.”
Mikel really wanted Victor Osimhen at Chelsea
Mikel was an advocate for the signing of Victor Osimhen over the summer, with him seemingly involved behind the scenes as a mediator between the two parties.
The Blues were in talks over the signing until the final few hours of the window, however they eventually walked away from the signing of Osimhen.
It seems instead the club are prepared to put their faith in Jackson for the next few months at least.
Mikel has hinted that Chelsea could be back in for Osimhen in January, with him off to a fine start to life on loan at Galatasaray.
Enzo Maresca also has Christopher Nkunku as an option for that role, with his goalscoring ability being shown off the bench against Bournemouth at the weekend.
