Jackson helped the Blues to دوري المؤتمرات and FIFA Club World triumphs in 2024-25, but is now embracing a new challenge. He bid farewell to Stamford Bridge late in the summer transfer window.
He has a contract in إنجلترا through to 2033, with it considered to be unlikely that a £70 million ($95m) purchase option in his season-long loan will be triggered – through the number of appearances he makes – or taken up by Bayern.
Jackson will find himself filling back-up duties behind prolific England captain Kane for as long as Bayern’s talismanic striker is fully fit and firing. He will, however, provide useful competition and a rotation option for Vincent Kompany to draft in when required.
Kane – who knows all about life in the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز from his record-breaking spell at توتنهام – has said of Jackson, who made his Bayern debut off the bench in a 5-0 demolition of Hamburg: “If you follow the Premier League, you can see that he has many good attributes. He creates a lot of chances. And he’s here to help the team. We’re already working together in training and finishing together.
“I feel he can have a big impact for us this season, with his speed, his movement, and his goals. He’s a great addition for us. I didn’t know him very well. We played against him in the summer [England vs السنغال], and he made a very good impression, he played a really good game.”
Jackson registered 30 goals for تشيلسي through 81 appearances in all competitions. He has never broken the 20-goal barrier in a single season, but will be hoping to help Bayern successfully defend their الدوري الألماني title while competing for other major honours at home and abroad.
