- Nicolas Jackson has scored 7 goals this term for Bayern Munich.
- Sengalese striker also tracked by Tottenham and Newcastle United.
- Jackson has registered some decent numbers in the Bundesliga.
Everton’s search for attacking reinforcements this summer has led them to consider a move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, currently on loan at Bayern Munich.
The Senegalese forward has found game time hard to come by in Germany, and with Bayern unwilling to trigger the significant obligation to buy in his loan agreement, a return to Stamford Bridge appears likely.
However, neither Chelsea nor Jackson sees a long‑term future together, opening the door for Premier League suitors, including Everton, as per the latest reports.
David Moyes has guided Everton to the brink of European qualification, but the squad remains thin up front. Beto has found form in recent weeks, while Thierno Barry has struggled for consistency. An injury to either would leave the Toffees dangerously short of options.
Braiden Graham is a promising talent, but at 18, he is very much one for the future. Jackson, 24, would provide immediate Premier League‑ready competition.
Nickolas Jackson has decent Bundesliga numbers
Jackson has made 20 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern this season, starting just ten and accumulating 875 minutes. Despite limited playing time as Harry Kane is the usual starter, Nickolas Jackson has scored seven goals, an average of one every 125 minutes.
He has also missed nine big chances, a familiar trait from his Chelsea days, but still his numbers remain strong.
Bayern’s agreement with Chelsea for Nickolas Jackson included an obligation to buy Jackson for over £55m, plus substantial loan fees. According to TeamTalk, the Bundesliga giants are unwilling to activate that clause, meaning the striker will likely return to Chelsea this summer. The London club are now prepared to offload him permanently or on another loan.
Why Everton and the competition for Jackson
Everton are not alone in their interest. Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are also named as potential suitors. Jackson currently earns around £126,000 per week, a significant but not impossible figure for Everton if they secure European football.
Jackson’s time at Chelsea was marked by inconsistency, but a fresh start in a settled system could unlock his potential. Everton would likely seek a loan with an option or obligation, mirroring the structure of Bayern’s deal but at a more manageable figure.
With four Premier League games remaining and European qualification still possible, Everton’s summer planning is already underway. Nicolas Jackson has emerged as a serious target and a deal could make sense for all parties.
