"Earlier this week, some reports out of England suggested that Bayern Munich might very well look to offload Nicolas Jackson as early as this January, when he would be participating in the African Cup of Nations with Senegal. His loan spell from Chelsea with the German Rekordmeister is set to run through the remainder of this season and, despite the rumors of a potential January departure, he looks set to stay at Bayern and see through the entirety of his loan spell."
"Rather, the striker is fully focused on his football with the reigning Bundesliga champions even though he is second choice striker behind Harry Kane. Likewise, he can certainly be used in wide roles, or as a secondary striker, which Vincent Kompany has done already this season, but he still has the likes of Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, Luis Diaz, and once he returns from action, Jamal Musiala ahead of him in the pecking order."
"So far this season, Jackson has contributed three goals and one assist from a total of 12 appearances across all competitions, the majority of which have been substitute appearances or starts where Kompany had to make rotations due to important matches coming up. There's still plenty of football left to be played this season, but when Musiala does make his much-anticipated return from injury, Bayern's attack gets even more crowded and it will inevitably get more difficult for Jackson to find regular playing minutes."
Reports suggested Bayern Munich might look to offload Nicolas Jackson in January while he would be at the African Cup of Nations with Senegal. His loan from Chelsea runs through the season and he is set to remain at Bayern for the full spell. Jackson is the second-choice striker behind Harry Kane and can also operate wide or as a secondary striker, roles Vincent Kompany has already used. He competes with Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, Luis Diaz and the returning Jamal Musiala for minutes; most of his 12 appearances have been as a substitute or in rotated starts. Bayern are unlikely to activate the roughly €65 million buy clause.
