Retired Chelsea’s Ivorian striker, Didier Drogba, has extended a hand of support to Nicholas Jackson after he was targeted by online racists and trolls following the Blues’ 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday, April 20, 2024.
A number of Chelsea fans vented their anger at the Senegalese striker on social media following his costly misses in the Emirates FA Cup semi-final against City at Wembley.
Drogba, one of the best African footballers to ever play in the Premier League, mounted a passionate defense on behalf of Jackson on X.
Keep your head High UP and never stop working hard, it will pay off 🙏🏾💙 pic.twitter.com/xW5bvi7A6S
