Former Chelsea star Mikel Obi has responded to Nicholas Jackson’s fiery Instagram post with a sharp retort, fueling their ongoing public feud.
On his podcast, The Obi One, Mikel said, “Keep scoring, and I’ll shut up.” This comes after Mikel criticized Jackson’s goal-scoring abilities during Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City.
Jackson had hit back on Instagram, telling Mikel to “shut your mouth” and accusing him of talking “sh*t.”
Mikel’s latest comment is likely to escalate the tension between the two, with fans eagerly following the exchange.
Thediscovererng.com reports that the debate began when Mikel, analyzing Chelsea’s loss, said, “We created chances, we haven’t taken them. Jackson’s finishing is an example.”
