Nicolas Jackson joins Bayern Munich! Chelsea striker completes protracted loan move to Bundesliga despite deal appearing to collapse
Nicolas Jackson has finally sealed a loan switch from Chelsea to Bayern Munich, ending weeks of uncertainty around his future.
The move looked doubtful at one stage after Chelsea hesitated to sanction his exit following Liam Delap’s injury, but both clubs have now reached a fresh agreement that sees the striker head to Germany for the season.
Jackson departs Stamford Bridge having netted 30 times in 81 appearances for the Blues. At Bayern, he is expected to provide valuable depth alongside Harry Kane as the Bavarian giants look to defend their Bundesliga crown.

Speaking after the announcement, Jackson expressed his delight: “I’m really happy to now be part of this great club. Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world. Everyone knows the names of the legends who’ve played here and knows that this club stands for the greatest success. I’ve got big goals and dreams here and will give all to help Bayern win further titles.”
The Senegalese forward could make his Bayern debut after the international break, with a league clash against Hamburg scheduled for September 13.
