Overview
- Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern on deadline day on loan from Chelsea, with German reports citing a purchase option of about €65 million and a sizeable loan fee reported at €16.5 million.
- His early return includes four Bundesliga starts without a goal involvement, while his two Bayern goals have come in the Champions League against Pafos and Club Brugge.
- Lothar Matthäus told BILD’s Bayern Insider podcast that Jackson has looked peripheral in Bayern’s quick-passing game, though he noted the forward’s pace, power and finishing could still help.
- Jackson says he is learning from Harry Kane every day and has been used both as a central striker and in roles behind the England captain as he works toward consistency.
- Agent Ali Barat bristled at public remarks by Uli Hoeneß about the deal, and local reporting says Bayern will take time before any decision on the reported purchase option.
