Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel told DAZN: "When you talk about leaders, people that can be on the pitch and control the game and their team-mates - that is what Chelsea had when the likes of John Terry and Didier Drogba were at the club.

"People who can call the players around and say, 'Listen, let's calm down a bit'.

We are not perfect, it's part of the game."

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel told DAZN: "It was unbelievable from Nicolas Jackson.

Your team needs you and you let them down.

"He did it in an important Premier League game at Newcastle when they were fighting for the Champions League places, and he has done it again."

Mikel added: "Nicolas Jackson needs to have a look at himself and think where he wants his Chelsea career to go from here.

"The manager has brought in a striker in Liam Delap, and now if the manager starts to doubt you, if he keeps making mistakes and letting his team-mates and the club down, then it is time for Delap to start the games.

"The manager has a decision to make now."

Touch of good fortune about it, as Gonzalo Plata's tame attempt at a shot hit his teammate on the heels inside the box and landed for him.

Liverpool have officially confirmed their club record deal for Florian Wirtz.

The total package is worth £116.5million with £100m guaranteed after weeks of talks between the Reds and Bayer Leverkusen.

Wirtz underwent his medical on Friday, with the Reds now announcing his arrival at Anfield to take their summer spree already to £146m.

The deal eclipses the previous British transfer record of £115m that Chelsea paid Brighton for Moises Caicedo in August 2023.

Naturally, it also shatters the club record £85m Liverpool paid Benfica for Darwin Nunez in 2022.

Arne Slot's side have already brought in Wirtz's former Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong for £29.5m.

Wirtz told Liverpoolfc.com: “I feel very happy and very proud.

I’m really ambitious.”
