“I cannot wait to start” – Nicolas Jackson on Bayern Munich loan move

Senegal international, Nicolas Jackson has said that, he cannot wait to hit the ground running at Bayern Munich after joining them on a season long loan from English Premier League giants Chelsea.

Jackson grappled with Chelsea over his move to the Allianz Stadium – a move that was reportedly blocked by the Blues but the dust finally settled with the former Villarreal forward moving to the record Bundesliga holders.

Jackson said: “I am a team guy so I am very happy to be here and the fans can be ready for that,” Nicoals Jackson told the club’s media outlet.

“I know a lot of things, I know a lot of legends who played here, it’s massive club and it’s one of the best clubs in the world and you know [that] they won a lot of trophies and I can’t wait to start and I am happy to join and hopefully I can do it here.

“You know I have big dreams, big goals and hopefully I can accomplish every goal and every dream here.”

The 24-year-old will spend the 2025/26 season with Bayern Munich where manager, Vincent Kompany looks to augment his attack in the ongoing Bundesliga season.

Jackson cut his teeth with Casa Sports in Senegal before joining Villarreal in Spain in 2019. After a loan spell at Mirandés, he returned for the 2021/22 season where a breakthrough campaign saw him score 13 goals in 48 competitive appearances for the first team.

He signed for Chelsea in summer 2023, going on to score 30 goals in 81 games going on to win the Club World Cup this summer. He has the UEFA Conference League title last season in his cabinet.
