Everton will reportedly monitor the situation of 24-year-old Senegalese international Nicolas Jackson, who may not complete a permanent move to Bayern Munich next year.

According to a report by Football Insider, Nicolas Jackson is the subject of interest of Everton. The Toffees are eager to bolster their offensive unit by signing a versatile striker next year. So, the 24-year-old Chelsea misfit has emerged as a target for the Merseyside outfit.

The African attacker has been solid thus far for Bayern Munich, and reports a few weeks ago suggested that a permanent deal may be on the cards. However, the latest update has revealed that the Bundesliga champions may not trigger the purchase option worth £70 million, leaving Jackson in a spot of bother. So, a move to Everton may be on the cards for the Chelsea misfit.

Nicolas Jackson and his situation

Nicolas Jackson has begun his attempt to resurrect his stuttering fortunes since joining Bayern Munich on loan from Chelsea on deadline day of the summer transfer window. The transfer saga was bizarre, as the 24-year-old was on the cusp of moving to the Allianz Arena before Chelsea pulled the plug on the deal after Liam Delap picked up a hamstring injury.

However, the player was determined to make his way to Bayern Munich, which finally happened a few weeks ago. The Senegalese international has been a backup option for Die Roten, managing only 457 minutes of game time while chipping in with two goals and two assists. However, Jackson’s long-term future is uncertain after recent updates, with the situation capturing the attention of several clubs, including Everton

What next?

Everton’s interest in Nicolas Jackson makes sense. While Beto has produced impressive performances for Everton, he has not been consistent enough to compel David Moyes to view him as a long-term solution in the final third. So, with Everton having lofty ambitions, they are mulling over signing a new striker.

Several candidates, including Richarlison, have thus emerged on Everton’s radar, with Jackson also a viable target. The Chelsea misfit has considerable experience in the Premier League with the West London outfit, and he may not take long to make his mark at the Merseyside club.

However, it is unclear if Jackson is open to joining Everton after representing Chelsea and Bayern Munich in the last few seasons. But with Bayern Munich having second thoughts about triggering the purchase option worth £70 million, the 24-year-old Senegalese international must consider his options.
