Nicolas Jackson agent reveals striker will not return to Chelsea after Bayern switch

The Agent of Senegal striker Diomansy Kamara has ruled out a possible return of striker Nicolas Jackson to Premier League outfit Chelsea after he sealed a deadline day loan transfer move to Germany side Bayern Munich.

According to the agent, the 24-year-old, who has already featured once for Bayern, has no intention of returning to the Blues, and further added the Senegalese striker does not have a good relationship with Enzo Maresca.

Asked whether Jackson will return to Chelsea again, Kamara responded as quoted by Daily Mail: “Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Today at Chelsea, the relationship with [Enzo] Maresca isn’t necessarily the best. We’re never going to bite the hand that feeds us because Chelsea allowed him to find the European level.

“He was there for two years and scored 30 goals, so he always had a good relationship. After, it’s true that the red cards complicated it at Chelsea. Today, we’re looking towards Bayern having a good season. We will see what is best for him. But it’s true that Bayern has been a priority for him for a long time.”

Jackson debuts for Bayern in 5-0 win

On his unveiling by Bayern, Jackson said: “It was tough – a tough time. Difficult moments in those last days. But I was very confident I will stay here because this is where I want to play and want to be.

“Max [Eberl, Bayern sporting director] and the coach really wanted me. It was very tough but in the end we got it, so I’m very glad. I’ve watched Bayern all my life. It was a dream to join this massive club. When they called me I was excited and ready to come and play for them.”

“Yet, this on-off-on transfer saga is only over for now, because the deal – a loan with an obligation to buy – does not appear watertight.”

Jackson made his debut as a half-time substitute for the German champions during their 5-0 win over Hamburg on Saturday, replacing Serge Gnabry.
