Former Manchester United and France striker Louis Saha believes Nicolas Jackson remains an excellent option for Premier League clubs, while admitting he was surprised the striker did not earn a permanent move to Bayern Munich after his loan spell.
Jackson joined Bayern Munich on loan from Chelsea last season and provided another attacking option behind Harry Kane. Although his opportunities were limited by Kane’s remarkable goalscoring form, Saha believes Jackson showed enough to deserve more consideration.
Speaking about the striker’s situation, Saha highlighted the qualities that could make Jackson an attractive option for Premier League clubs.
“Nicolas Jackson is a good fit for any Premier League team this summer. I like how direct he is. He might sometimes miss a few chances here and there but that’s always part of a striker’s job, too. I find it strange that he didn’t find a home at Bayern Munich after his loan there because I thought he did really well, especially when he was having to find games competing against a striker scoring 72 goals in a season or whatever Harry Kane did,” Saha told Mr Gamble . “But that’s the reality in front of Jackson, and now Chelsea have brought in Danny Welbeck and he will be asking questions about his future and what the club expects from him.”
Saha’s comments underline the difficult situation Jackson faced at Bayern Munich. Competing directly with Kane for minutes was always going to be a major challenge, particularly given the England captain’s extraordinary production.
Still, Saha believes Jackson demonstrated enough during his time in Munich to remain an option for Premier League clubs looking for a striker who can bring pace, directness, and physicality to their attack.
Now back at Chelsea, Jackson faces another important decision regarding the next stage of his career.
