Chelsea striker Nicholas Jackson has no plans to return to Stamford Bridge at the end of his loan agreement.
The striker is on loan at German club Bayern Munich, but his agents have confirmed that players are no longer seeing the future in Chelsea. He also revealed that Jackson has no good relationship with Enzo Maresca.
Nicholas Jackson’s agent on his future Chelsea
When asked if his client would play for Chelsea again, Jackson’s agent said, “Absolutely not, absolutely not.”
“Today, at Chelsea, our relationship with (Enzo) Maresca is not necessarily the best. We will never bite our hands that feed us, as Chelsea has allowed us to find European levels.
“He was there for two years and scored 30 goals, so he always had a good relationship. It’s true that the red card got complicated at Chelsea. Today we’re looking for Bayern who has the best for him. But it’s true that Bayern has been a priority for him for a long time.”
Chelsea have already invested in two strikers this summer, and Jackson would have been a fringe player for them if he had stayed at the club. He has no future for Chelsea, ideally he will move on forever. It would be interesting to see where he will go next season. Bayern Munich signed him a loan, but they have no option to sign him forever.
Where will Jackson go?
It remains to be seen whether the striker will impress him well enough and will convince the German champion to invest in him next summer. Comments from his agents clearly ended the possibility that players may have a future at Chelsea. Bruce aims to remove him forever too. They hope to get a fair amount back from his departure.
There’s no doubt he’s a quality player, and he showed it in the Premier League. He is now trying to get his career back on track with regular German football. It will be interesting to see if he can hold back the starting point with Harry Kane.
England International will become the first choice striker for the German club, and Jackson must work hard in training to convince his manager to give him regular opportunities along with Kane.
