"Chelsea tried to cancel the loan over the weekend after Liam Delap's injury against Fulham, but the striker refused to return to London as his agent and Bayern worked desperately to schmooze the Blues. Agent Ali Barat vowed to 'fight with everything I have' to get the move over the line, and eventually Chelsea caved in and let him go, two years after he joined for £32m."
"Personal terms have been installed for a five-year stay at the Allianz Arena should Jackson's switch be made permanent. 'I'm really happy to now be part of this great club,' said Jackson. 'Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world. 'Everyone knows the names of the legends who've played here and knows that this club stands for the greatest success. 'I've got big goals and dreams here and will give my all to help Bayern win further titles.'"
Jackson joined Bayern on a loan worth £14.2million with an obligation to buy of £56.2m if he meets a reported appearance quota. Chelsea attempted to cancel the loan after Liam Delap's injury, but Jackson refused to return to London while his agent and Bayern persuaded Chelsea to allow the move. Bayern arranged for Jackson to complete his medical before Chelsea had given formal approval to streamline the process and potentially save the deal. Personal terms include a five-year contract if the transfer becomes permanent. Jackson expressed happiness and ambition to help Bayern win further titles. Departures of several forwards have created opportunities despite competition from Harry Kane.
