Bayern Munich have agreed a deal to sign Nicolas Jackson on loan from Chelsea. Bayern are paying a \u20ac15m (\u00a313m) loan fee for the striker with a \u20ac65m (\u00a356m) option to buy, while there is a sell-on clause. Chelsea have also announced the sale of Christopher Nkunku for \u00a336m to Milan.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Jackson is out of favour at Chelsea<\/a> after the arrivals of Liam Delap and Jo\u00e3o Pedro. He joined from Villarreal in 2023 for \u00a332m and scored 24 goals in 65 Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n Jackson opened his Chelsea account against Luton before scoring a hat-trick<\/a> in a 4-1 win at Tottenham in his first season with the club. He scored 14 goals in 35 league matches and formed a good relationship with Cole Palmer.<\/p>\n Last September Jackson signed a two-year contract extension, with his deal running until 2033. He made key contributions during Chelsea\u2019s Conference League success, scoring twice in the semi-final first leg win at Djurg\u00e5rden and once in the final against Real Betis<\/a>.<\/p>\n Discipline was a problem for the Senegal international, however: he was sent off for a deliberate elbow in a Premier League match against Newcastle in May and also in the Club World Cup group-stage defeat by Flamengo a month later for a reckless foul after coming on as a substitute.<\/p>\n Jackson returned from suspension to replace Pedro in the semi-final win against Fluminense but was an unused substitute in Chelsea\u2019s 3-0 final triumph<\/a> over Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n Sign up to Football Daily<\/p>\n Kick off your evenings with the Guardian’s take on the world of football<\/p>\n Privacy Notice: <\/strong>Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
