Discontent has swept through the ranks of Chelsea fans following a surprising request made by striker Nicolas Jackson to influencer Astrid Wett. In a viral video circulating early Saturday morning, Jackson was seen engaging in a facetime conversation with the OnlyFans influencer, where he explicitly asked for "motivation" ahead of Chelsea's clash against Brighton.
Despite coming off a disheartening 4-1 defeat against Newcastle the previous week, Chelsea fans expressed disappointment over Jackson's unusual request from the out-of-favour Chelsea supporter, Astrid Wett.
Reactions on social media platform X criticized Jackson for seeking motivation from Wett, especially in light of coach Mauricio Pochettino's guidance. One supporter remarked, "The motivation the coach gives Nicholas Jackson isn't sufficient. He seeks motivation from a p*rn star. Fool, have you seen our league position? That's enough motivation."

Meanwhile, some fans condemned Wett for disclosing her conversation with the Senegalese striker. One supporter voiced concerns, saying, "What does Astrid Wett stand to gain after posting her conversion with Nicolas Jackson? You can't trust these women; footballers need to fix up."
Wett recently made headlines for a video featuring a raunchy makeout session with Shrek and wearing a half-cut Chelsea and Manchester City jersey during the 4-4 encounter. The video sparked immediate reactions from Chelsea supporters, with calls for her ban from attending matches.
As Chelsea faces Brighton, they aim to recover from their previous away defeat, having previously defeated Brighton in the league cup.
