Merson: Jackson’s Exit Leaves Palmer Struggling At Chelsea

September 30, 2025 2:52 pm

Paul Merson, veteran Premier League pundit, has sounded the alarm over Chelsea’s attacking struggles, arguing that the departure (or absence) of Nicolas Jackson has left Cole Palmer bereft of a key partner. According to Merson, Jackson not only benefitted from Palmer’s creativity — “Palmer makes Jackson” — but also, crucially, pushed Palmer to thrive in return. Without that dynamic, Chelsea’s forward play has become increasingly static. 

Jackson has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since early February, an absence that Merson believes has had a major impact. Prior to the injury, Jackson’s energetic runs stretched defenders, creating space for Palmer …
