“I haven't said he's a bad player at all. I've only said that his finishing qualities is not there. He's a young boy, the co-host chipped in.
“He's a young boy exactly and all I've said is that he needs more like a kind of experienced player to come into the football club to help him.

“Come to Chelsea, a big club, a massive club, where we've had one of he greatest strikers in Diddier Drogba from Africa, Ivory Coast.. Did really well, i'll like to see him do well as well.
“So for me, if he plays well, I will praise him and there is something to be said about him where he needs to improve, I will definitely say it.
“And if tells me to shut up every week and tells me to shut up, I'll take that.”
Mikel gave a candid reply to Jackson and instructed him to score every week if he wants him to stop making comments about his poor performance.
