A wild month-long saga is at an end and the forward will link up with Vincent Kompany's side after they agreed to pay a loan fee of £14. 2m. There would then be an obligation to make the move permanent for £56. 2m but only if he hits a high number of appearances, according to BILD. That would appear to be unlikely given Harry Kane starts every game up front for the German champions. But Jackson still pushed for the move having fallen down the pecking order this summer. Chelsea signed Liam Delap and Joao Pedro in direct competition for Jackson's role in Enzo Maresca's side, sending a clear message to the 24-year-old. Chelsea and Bayern Munich have finally agreed a deal for Nicolas Jackson Vincent Kompany will have another attacking weapon at his disposal Jackson's agent Ali Barat revived the talks with Bayern after Chelsea cancelled their initial loan and option agreement with as they needed cover for Liam Delap following his hamstring injury in their 2-0 Premier League win over Fulham. In a statement, Barat claimed he would 'fight with everything I have' in order to ensure the move comes to fruition. 'Nico was ready. Bayern was ready. We were all aligned on a world-class project. ' The statement read. 'For the agreement to be withdrawn at the final moment is deeply frustrating. But we won’t give up. I will fight with everything I have to make sure Nico’s next step reflects his talent, ambition, and the plan we built together, ' he added. Jackson had already flown to Munich to complete the moved when Chelsea pulled the deal, sparking anger and frustration. But it has now been resurrected despite the injury to Delap. It comes with Chelsea having also asked Sunderland if they can recall Marc Guiu – just 26 days after they sent him there on loan. Chelsea had spent the last month searching for a new home for Jackson after bringing in Delap and Joao Pedro amid a significant summer of trading. Delap’s injury, described as ‘not good’ by Maresca, could have left them short in the striker position.
