Bayern takes a strong move! 13 goals and 6 assists worth 65 million? Chelsea striker becomes a hot commodity, and multiple teams compete for it

The storm of the transfer market has once again shrouded in the West End of London. Senegalese striker Nicholas Jackson in Chelsea is becoming the target of competition for many top European clubs. According to Spanish media Fichajes, Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich has officially joined the competition and directly offered a quotation of 65 million euros. Of course, in addition to Bayern, Newcastle United, Barcelona, AC Milan and Inter Milan are also eyeing each other. Will the Blues let the 24-year-old striker go in the end?

Bayern Munich's interest is not groundless. The team's core Musiara will be absent due to injury for a long time, which has caused coach Kompani's choice to be on the offensive end to be suddenly reduced. In order to ensure the stability of multi-line combat in the new season, Bayern plans to introduce a forward player with immediate combat capability and try a double center formation tactically. However, the 24-year-old Senegal international is regarded as Kane's ideal partner. Kane is good at fulcrum and ending in front of the goal, while Jackson is good at speed, physical confrontation and running without the ball. The combination of two people, one static and one movement is expected to bring new tactical dimensions to Bayern and make the Allianz forward more deterrent.

Jackson scored 13 goals and gave 6 assists in all competitions that he played for Chelsea last season, and participated in 19 goals. As the main player of last season, this data can only be considered a passing grade. However, after introducing Liam Delapp and Joao Pedro this summer, it can be basically confirmed that he is not the core of the team's forward line. In Maresca's tactical concept, Jackson is not an absolute starter, but is regarded more as a candidate for rotation or specific tactics. For Chelsea, if they can recover a transfer fee of nearly €80 million on him, it will not only free up salary space, but also provide financial support for future recruitment. This is also the main reason why they are willing to listen to other clubs’ quotes.

In addition to Bayern, Newcastle United in the Premier League also desires to strengthen on the front line. The Magpies performed poorly on the offensive end last season, especially when facing players who lacked tearing the defense line when facing intensive defense. Jackson's impact is exactly the attribute they need. In La Liga, double eyelidssa is also interested in Jackson, and Frick is looking for a versatile player for the team who can be both competent for center and pull the edge to relieve Lewandowski's physical stress. Jackson's multi-position adaptability meets this requirement. The two Milan players in Serie A have not ignored the Senegal international. AC Milan plans to inject vitality into the aging front line, while Inter Milan hopes to make up for a striker who can hold the ball after Lukaku leaves the team.

Jackson has very distinct advantages: strong explosive power, fast startup speed, excellent physical confrontation ability, and good at deep pulling in counterattacks. His calmness in front of the goal has also improved last season, with various goals scored, not only can he score a single goal, but he can also complete the points in the penalty area. His shortcomings are also obvious: he lacks stability in handling the ball in positional battles, and sometimes there are too many dribbling or selection mistakes, which makes him seem inefficient when facing intensive defense. For a ball-held team, this may be a place to be needed for extra run-in.

Chelsea asks for 80 million euros, which is a considerable investment for any club. Bayern's first round offer of 65 million euros is just a test. They are likely to gradually increase the offer at the negotiating table, and even narrow the gap by adding floating terms. These clubs, the Bundesliga South King is the most sincere in their discussions, but the most important thing is to depend on the players' own wishes. Continue to compete in the team to prove themselves, or start a new journey to the Bundesliga. Jackson is no longer the first choice for coach Maresca's forward line. Perhaps this is an important factor.
