During the last summer transfer window, Nicolas Jackson was loaned for a year from Chelsea to Bayern Munich. The Bavarian club secured an option to buy the 24-year-old forward for £70 million.
However, the Bundesliga champions seem unlikely to take up this option and are expected not to sign the Senegalese forward permanently. Despite moments of brilliance, Jackson failed to convince Bayern’s coaching staff to make such a significant financial commitment.
At the end of the current season, Nicolas Jackson is expected to return to London temporarily, as Chelsea does not see him in their future plans. According to the British outlet “Football Insider,” Everton might step forward to offer the 23-time Senegal international a new opportunity.
The Liverpool-based side is actively looking to strengthen their attacking options, and the dynamic, physically strong striker appears to be a fitting choice to boost competition in David Moyes’ squad. In his stint at Bayern Munich, Nicolas Jackson participated in 11 matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist, results that fell short of impressing Vincent Kompany.
Standing at 187 centimeters tall, Jackson also boasts a playing history with Chelsea and Villarreal, the club where he first gained prominence on the professional football stage. Currently, his market value is estimated at €50 million by the respected football portal “Transfermarkt.”
