Chelsea Set to Lose Another Attacker on Deadline Day

Here We Go

Romano has now given the trademark “here we go” to another move for the Blues. Nicolas Jackson has once again agreed to depart to Bayern Munich on loan. This time the deal includes an obligation for the Bundesliga side to sign him next summer, meaning he will make the permanent switch to Germany after two seasons as the number one striker for Chelsea.

When the loan turns into a transfer, it will be with a five-year deal already agree, no fee has been reported yet for the actual transfer, but the £16.5 million loan fee is already a sizeable payment from the Bavarians.

What Nicolas Jackson Offers

The Senegal international actually proves to be an interesting addition for Bayern Munich. While he became known for playing as a striker in the Premier League, he previously played as a left winger for Villarreal. There is a chance he could be utilised across the front line as well as to allow Harry Kane to rest.

The attacker has contributed an impressive 42 goal contributions in 81 appearances for the Blues, averaging one in every two matches. He was similarly effective in La Liga where he had 17 in 35 outings.
