Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has made no secret of his admiration for Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jackson mimicked Ronaldo's goal celebration after his hat-trick goal in victory at Tottenham earlier this month.

He told the Telegraph: "When I was little, I loved Cristiano Ronaldo. I had his name on a t-shirt that I always wore. Not an actual club shirt because they're expensive, so I couldn't afford them. But I had a t-shirt with '7 Ronaldo' written on it. Made with a pen, I had made it myself.

"Obviously, I pretended to be him, even it was difficult to watch his matches because you had to pay. We all went to my friend's house. We watched them in a large group, never with just one person in the house. With all our friends we all went to a house to watch Real Madrid.

"I always celebrated like him, even when I was at Villarreal and I scored two goals. So when I got a hat trick, I had to do it. Now I will only do it for the hat tricks, not for all the goals. It was my first career hat-trick. It was very special. The ball is now displayed in my living room for all to see. I hope there are many others, but the first is always very important."
