Transfer: You need to improve your physical condition – Pochettino tells Chelsea’s new signing

Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino says summer signing Nicolas Jackson needs to improve on his physical condition.

Pochettino made this known after the club's pre-season friendly draw with Newcastle United on Thursday.

Recall that Chelsea recently signed Jackson from Villarreal this summer.

“He is showing his quality, his talent,” Pochettino said at his post-match press conference.

“I think he is good in front of goal, he is very relaxed when given chances and he has shown that in these games.

“I’m so happy because a striker needs to score for confidence and trust.

“Still he needs to improve his physical condition, it is only the beginning of pre-season and he arrived late, he did not start with us in the beginning.”
