'It's not about a killer!' - Enzo Maresca claims Chelsea do not need to sign new striker in defence of misfiring Nicolas Jackson

Chelsea have found the back of the net on 41 occasions and have scored the third-highest number of goals in the 2024-25 Premier League, behind Liverpool and Arsenal. Yet the Blues are winless in their last five league matches and have dropped to the fifth in the table.

Star striker Jackson has impressed on occasion and has scored nine league goals thus far. However, his goal drought in the last five games has contributed majorly to their sudden drop in form. Head coach Maresca came to his defence and ruled out the possibility of the club signing a new striker in the January window.

Speaking to reporters, the Italian coach replied when asked if there would be a major addition in attack: "No, because I think by being a little bit more lucky, we can convert and can score more goals. It’s not about [signing] a ‘killer’. At this moment, the one that’s probably missing the goal is Nico. But the way he is working is fantastic, and we don’t have any doubt that Nico is soon going to start scoring goals."

The west London side will aim to get back to winning ways when they take on Wolves in their next league clash on Monday at Stamford Bridge.
