In the summer, Xabi Alonso and Chelsea had a decision to make. Either reintegrate Nicolas Jackson or place their faith in Emmanuel Emegha. Despite his injuries, they chose the latter.
Since then, Jackson has been immense for Aston Villa since reuniting with Unai Emery after a £65m fee changed hands. The Senegal star has already scored seven goals in 11 appearances for Emery’s outfit.
Over at Stamford Bridge, Emegha has failed to make his Chelsea debut. Largely seen as the club’s third-choice striker, a hamstring injury before the tour of Australia and Asia has hampered his progress since.
