After a gruelling 72 hours (maybe more), Nicolas Jackson finally secured a loan move to Bayern Munich from Chelsea FC. Probably one of the most nerve-wracking sagas despite its duration, the Senegalese striker is looking forward to the season and laid down his objectives.

Newcastle United were interested in Jackson replacing Alexander Isak ahead of his move to Liverpool, but the striker only had Bayern on his mind. Jackson leaving Stamford Bridge allowed Marc Guiu to make a surprise return to Chelsea, after initially departing the club on a season-long loan to Sunderland.

With Delap potentially facing an extended period on the sidelines, Chelsea have also recalled former Barcelona striker Marc Guiu from his loan with Sunderland. Bayern Munich have completed the signing of Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson on an initial loan deal, with a view to a permanent transfer.

Chelsea’s end to the transfer window was hectic – really hectic, even by their standards. The Blues had Nicolas Jackson on his way to Bayern Munich for a medical when Liam Delap tore his hamstring against Fulham.

Chelsea star Romeo Lavia has reacted to Nicolas Jackson's latest update after the striker joined Bayern Munich.

Fabrizio Romano was the first to confirm the news, revealing Bayern have agreed to pay a loan fee of €15 million, with an optional purchase clause set at €65 million. Chelsea will also retain a sell-on clause if Jackson completes a permanent switch to Munich.

Chelsea last night confirmed that Nicolas Jackson had joined Bayern Munich on a loan deal which has a large fee and a obligatory purchase element if certain conditions are met.

Nicolas Jackson's late move to Bayern Munich stopped Axel Disasi from a return to Monaco due to UEFA's international loan rules.
