Nicholas Jackson has officially joined Bayern Munich on loan from Chelsea. The Bavarians will pay €16.5m for the transfer, and if they decide to buy the striker, they will have to part with a total of €65m.

The option will be activated if Jackson plays a certain number of matches. In addition, the “blues” from London will receive a percentage of any subsequent sale of the Senegalese.

Bayern will also cover the player’s salary of around €8m per year. He will wear the number 11 shirt.

Last season, Jackson scored 10 goals and made 5 assists in 30 Premier League matches.

"I'm very happy to be part of this great club. Bayern is one of the biggest in the world. Everyone knows the names of the legends who have played here. Bayern is a symbol of success. I have big goals and dreams. I will do my best to help the team win more trophies," said Jackson.

The Senegalese broke into big football with the Villarreal team, from where he moved to Chelsea for 30 million euros. | BGNES
