Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern Munich on loan during the summer transfer window, and he has no future at the West London club.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are now considering a permanent move for Nicolas Jackson heading into the summer transfer window.
Chelsea paid £32 million to sign Jackson from Villarreal, but he had fallen down the pecking order at the West London club after the arrival of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. He needed to leave the club in order to play regularly, and the move to Germany could prove to be ideal for him. It will be interesting to see if he can establish himself as a key player for the German club over the next few months.
There is no doubt the Senegalese international has the experience and the technical attributes to do well in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich were overly dependent on Harry Kane in the attack. They needed more depth in the offensive unit, and Nicolas Jackson should prove to be a very useful addition for them.
The 24-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League with Chelsea, and there is no doubt that he could make an instant impact in Germany as well. Meanwhile, Chelsea are unlikely to stand in his way if Bayern Munich decide to make the move permanent.
The former Villarreal attacker has no future at the West London club, and they will look to recoup some money from his departure. However, it is fair to assume that the Bavarian outfit will not want to pay over the odds for him. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can agree on a reasonable deal.
The Senegalese international will not want to return to Chelsea either. His agent has previously made it clear that his future at the club is over. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Jackson is very much at the peak of his powers, and he needs to play regularly. He should seek assurance from the German club regarding his game time before joining them permanently. If he manages to adapt to German football quickly, he could be a star for Bayern Munich in the coming seasons.
