"The Senegal international has made just five starts in the Bundesliga this season. With that being said, what exactly did Jackson expect? He joined a club whose first-choice striker is Harry Kane, a forward who has scored 128 goals in 132 appearances for them. There was ZERO chance of Jackson replacing Kane in Vincent Kompany's starting XI."
"You can say it is hindsight now, but Jackson would have got more game time this season had he stayed at Stamford Bridge because of Liam Delap's injuries. And even if Delap had stayed fit, competing against the former Ipswich Town man would have been a much easier task than battling against Kane for a first-team spot."
"Jackson's relationship with Enzo Maresca deteriorated, so perhaps the No.9 felt that he had no choice but to leave the Blues. Whatever the case, this move to Bayern has not worked out. With Maresca no longer at Chelsea, there is now a possibility that Jackson returns and stays at the club."
Nicolas Jackson, currently on loan at Bayern Munich, is expected to return to Chelsea in the summer because Bayern's obligation to purchase him is contingent on conditions he will not fulfill. The 24-year-old Senegalese striker is reportedly unhappy at the Allianz Arena, having made only five Bundesliga starts this season. However, Jackson bears responsibility for his situation, as he joined a club with Harry Kane as the established first-choice striker, making significant playing time unlikely. Had Jackson remained at Chelsea, he would have received more opportunities due to injuries to Liam Delap. With Enzo Maresca no longer at Chelsea, Jackson may have a fresh opportunity to establish himself upon his return.
