"Nicolas Jackson's loan from Chelsea was extremely divisive among Bayern Munich fans, particularly the €65m obligation to buy. However, after details emerged revealing the Senegalese striker would have to start 40 games for the German side for the clause to be triggered, the fan base slowly warmed up to the idea of the Jackson in a Bayern jersey. Since his arrival in Munich, the 24-year-old striker has been by no means bad, scoring five and assisting one across 525 minutes of football."
"He's helped us a lot - his goals-per-minute ratio is good. Of course, with Harry Kane up front, you have a bit of competition, and that's part of the game. So, as a coach, it's a real luxury to see how Nicolas is handling that. What many people don't see is what Nicolas does in training and every time he comes on."
Nicolas Jackson's loan from Chelsea divided Bayern supporters because of a reported €65m obligation to buy. Details showed the clause depended on Jackson starting 40 games, which eased fan concerns and led to growing acceptance. Jackson scored five goals and provided one assist in 525 minutes since joining Bayern. Manager Vincent Kompany praised Jackson's goals-per-minute ratio, training work and how he handles competition with Harry Kane. Kompany planned to substitute Jackson against Sporting before a tactical change. Kompany expects Jackson to depart for AFCON after the Mainz game and emphasized the tournament's importance for African players. Bayern will lose bench depth during AFCON.
