Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has thrown his support behind Nicolas Jackson as the striker continues to settle in his first season in England.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson, who joined Chelsea this summer, has 13 goals in all competitions but has faced criticisms from fans for not being clinical enough.<\/p>\n

Recently, the 22-year-old striker missed crucial chances in Chelsea\u2019s semi-final defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Chelsea released a statement on social media saying they are \u201cdisgusted by the racial abuse directed towards Nicolas Jackson\u201d after the game.<\/p>\n

Drogba provided some words of encouragement for the Senegalese striker on social media stating: \u201cKeep your head High UP and never stop working hard, it will pay off\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s our main striker, the only striker we have fit,\u201d said Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, before his side\u2019s trip to Arsenal on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s doing fantastic. He\u2019s doing an amazing job for the team; running, scoring goals, giving assists. His first season, a young guy, came in from Spain, even with not too much experience there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
