- Eberl remains hopeful of Jackson transfer
- Chelsea stopped Jackson from joining Bayern
- Delap picked up an injury against Fulham
Delap was forced off with what looked like a hamstring injury inside the opening 15 minutes of Chelsea’s home clash with London rivals Fulham on Saturday. That left the Blues with Joao Pedro as their sole senior striker. The lack of depth in the No.9 role quickly prompted them to block Jackson’s transfer, who was on his way to join Bayern Munich.
Jackson, 24, had travelled to Germany after the Bavarian club reached an agreement with Premier League giants to sign the Senegal international on a season-long loan with an option to buy. Bayern director Max Eberl, however, is hopeful that they will be able to revive the transfer before the window closes on Monday.
Speaking to AZ, Eberl said: “Everyone will now revisit their network and contacts to a certain extent… then we’ll see what’s possible.”
Enzo Maresca’s side will be back in action after the international break as they next face Brentford away from home on September 13.
