"Chelsea are set to look for buyers for out-of-favour striker Nicolas Jackson as he won't be staying at Bayern Munich beyond his loan spell. The Senegal international has struggled to establish himself at Chelsea, failing to build on a promising start to life at Stamford Bridge. This saw Jackson loaned out to Bayern this season, but they are now not expected to take up their option to sign him permanently, as first reported in my Daily Briefing exclusive here."
"Jackson has surely still got it in him to have a decent career, even if he perhaps isn't quite cut out for playing for elite clubs like Chelsea or Bayern. The 24-year-old could be a good option for someone like Newcastle, though, who have endured a difficult season since selling star striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool. Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa look like decent replacements, but Eddie Howe might still be keen to strengthen up front again, and Jackson looks like a potentially good fit."
Chelsea will seek buyers for Nicolas Jackson after Bayern Munich opt not to make his loan permanent. The Senegal striker struggled to establish himself at Chelsea after an initially promising start, prompting the season-long loan to Bayern. Bayern are unlikely to trigger a €65m buy clause tied to performance milestones that will not be met. Potential suitors include Premier League clubs Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Everton, with Atletico Madrid and Napoli also possible abroad. Jackson is viewed as capable of a solid career at slightly lower-profile clubs and could fit well as a long-term forward option.
