"It seems that the future of Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson may reportedly have been decided already as he's expected to stay at Bayern Munich. The Senegal international joined Bayern on loan for this season, and it seems he won't be coming back to Stamford Bridge next term. Instead, it seems that Bayern have made it clear they're backing Jackson and want him to stay, according to journalist Graeme Bailey, speaking to TBR Football."
"His commitment to come, which saw the player and agents sacrificing money to make the deal happen, to his insistence that the team he wanted to join was Bayern. All parties acknowledge that the obligation will likely not be met, also given that Jackson is due at the AFCON (tournament) in the New Year, but their commitment is solid. I am told it would take a major change of circumstance for Jackson not to join Bayern permanently."
"Jackson may not have done the business for CFC, but the fact that a big club like Bayern are so keen on him could perhaps serve as a bit of a warning. Joao Pedro has started quite well since joining the Blues from Brighton this summer, but Liam Delap already faces a lengthy spell out injured. Even if Jackson wasn't the best striker in the world, he showed some potential and is still young enough that he could improve and go up to another level very soon. Pedro and Delap have not yet looked like that much of an upgrade for Enzo Maresca's side, so it will be"
Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern Munich on loan for the season and is expected to remain at Bayern rather than return to Chelsea next term. Bayern have been highly impressed by Jackson's performances and by his commitment to join, including financial sacrifices by the player and his agents. The loan contains an obligation that is unlikely to be activated, partly because Jackson is due to attend the Africa Cup of Nations in the New Year, but Bayern remain committed to securing him permanently. A permanent transfer would require a major change of circumstance. Chelsea's current strikers have not yet clearly outperformed Jackson.
