Chelsea’s Jackson Set To Join Bayern On Loan

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is set to join Bayern Munich on loan with an option to buy.

The Blues will receive an initial loan fee of £13m (15m euros) while the German champions have a £56.2m (65m euro) purchase option for the Senegal forward.

Jackson, 24, has already agreed a pre-contract with Bayern and has been given permission to travel to Germany to complete the move.

A sell-on clause has been included in the deal between the two clubs.

Jackson, who joined Chelsea in 2023, has seen his opportunities limited by the arrivals of summer signings Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.

He has not played for the club since making a substitute appearance in their semi-final victory over Fluminense in the Club World Cup in July.

The former Villarreal player has a solid scoring record of 24 goals from 65 Premier League appearances.

But he has under-performed his expected goals total by seven over the past two years, the second-most of any player in the top flight.

A key factor has been his record in what Opta define as ‘big chances’.

Jackson has scored just 18 of 61 such opportunities (29%), a relatively low conversion rate compared to other top forwards.
