Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks, and he is set to join Bayern Munich.

Chelsea have now reached an agreement with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich over a deal for Nicolas Jackson. According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Senegalese international will join the German club on loan for a €15 million fee, and they have an option to sign him permanently for €80 million.

Chelsea signed Jackson for €37 million, but the former Villarreal attacker has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea after the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. He needs regular game time at this stage of his career, and joining the German club would be ideal.

Bayern Munich needed more quality and depth in their attacking unit, and they have chased Jackson for several weeks. Die Roten have been overly dependent on Harry Kane, and Jackson should prove to be an excellent addition; he will add creativity and goals to the side. There is no doubt that the 24-year-old has the technical attributes to thrive in German football, and he could be a key player for Bayern Munich.

The player has shown his ability in England, and it will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running in the Bundesliga. It remains to be seen whether he can impress sufficiently for the German club to sign him permanently at the end of the season.

Bayern Munich needed another reliable striker at their disposal, and the star certainly fits the profile. It will be interesting to see if he is handed a regular starting spot alongside Kane. Alternatively, he could be a backup option to the England international.

Can Jackson make an impact at Bayern?

The 24-year-old will not want to sit on the bench at his new club, and it is fair to assume that he might have received assurances regarding game time. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have adequate depth in the attacking unit, and it will be interesting to see if their new signing can hit the ground running. They will be expected to fight for major trophies this season.

Meanwhile, the Bavarian outfit will have to shell out a package of around €80 million if they want to sign the player permanently at the end of the season. It is an expensive deal, and Jackson will have to perform at a high level in order to convince the club.
