'I'm very happy': Jackson says Pochettino reminds him of another manager

Chelsea FC

 has already scored a goal and provided three assists in Chelsea's first two friendlies this pre-season.

And the Senegalese says he's extremely happy to be at 

"Things are going very well, I am very happy right now," the forward told the club's official website.

"The running is not even too bad, it is fine. I am used to it. There are similarities between the boss [Pochettino] and 

"I get on with everyone. I talk to everybody. We chill out together. We’re playing cards, playing games when we are not training."

'Messi was not my idol': Jackson reveals his role model

 [footballing idol] and then when older, it was 

 was not my idol, but I love him so much... " 

Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi... Nicolas Jackson was about idolising the best of the best in football.

It's fair to say the 22-year-old has something of all the three players inside of him. He can play as a striker and on both wings while his playmaking ability is also something special.

The forward has scored a goal and provided two assists in a friendly game against 

Chelsea signed the player for €37m earlier this summer.

Nicolas Jackson names his two 'icons' in Chelsea history - one may surprise you

"This is the first time I’ve been to Stamford Bridge, it’s perfect," 

 website after completing his transfer from 

"It’s very big and the fans are near the pitch. The Villarreal stadium is like that, so I’m used to the fans being right up close to the pitch and I like that a lot.

"I wanted to join a big team and Chelsea is one of the best teams in the world, plus I’ve watched them since I was young. I watched Demba Ba, Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka was good too, big players. So I always dreamed of playing for a team like this.

"When Chelsea came there was no question in my mind. I always had this kind of team in my mind. 

"I talked to my family and my agent and I have icons who played here – Drogba and Ba, big strikers. So when Chelsea came my heart said the answer should be yes and I decided to follow it and come here.

"I remember the Champions League final in 2012 and especially when Drogba scored that header right at the end. I watched those players for Chelsea when I was growing up so I decided to follow in their footsteps. Hopefully, that’s what continues to happen now I’m here."

Demba Ba may not be the player that comes to mind as a Chelsea icon. He only spent about 18 months at Stamford Bridge, scoring 14 goals in 51 games.

However, for Jackson who is a Senegal international, it was certainly a special feeling to see his compatriot playing at this level, so it should not be a surprise that he has this memory.
