Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has been linked with a move away from the club this summer, and Bayern Munich are hoping to sign him.
Nicolas Jackson has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea, and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time. He was expected to join Bayern Munich, but the Blues called off the deal after the injury to Liam Delap. It seems that the move could be revived.
According to an update by reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Chelsea and Bayern Munich are now negotiating the deal once again. It will be interesting to see if the transfer goes through before the window closes.
Jackson should look to move on
Nicolas Jackson needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and the Bundesliga champions will be able to provide him with that opportunity. The opportunity to join Bayern Munich will be quite exciting for the players as well. The Bavarian giants are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be able to provide him with the platform to fight for trophies regularly.
Sitting on the bench at Chelsea does not make any sense for the player at this stage of his career. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can work out an agreement. Meanwhile, Chelsea have needed attacking depth after the injury to Delap, and they have recalled Marc Guiu from his loan spell at Sunderland.
Delap is likely to be sidelined for a couple of months. It is no surprise that they were willing to cancel the deal for Jackson after the injury blow. It will be interesting to see how they cope with the situation after recalling Guiu.
Chelsea will be hoping to fight for major trophies this season, and they could not have afforded to weaken the squad. The Blues won the UEFA Europa Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup recently. They will look to build on it and push for major trophies. Meanwhile, Jackson has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he could be a very useful player for Bayern Munich if the deal goes through.
