“I am told…” – Journalist makes big claim about Chelsea star’s transfer situation

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.

Jackson struggled to impress on a consistent basis at Chelsea, but he seems to have won people over at Bayern, especially as he was so keen to do whatever it took to ensure the move happened.

Latest on Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea, and Bayern

Discussing the Jackson situation, Bailey said: “Bayern Munich have been delighted with Nicolas Jackson since arriving, indeed, they have been hugely impressed by him following their first meeting with him.

“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.”

Are Chelsea right to be letting Jackson go?

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 interesting to see if this ends up being a deal Chelsea live to regret.
