- Nicolas Jackson's protracted departure from Chelsea is finally resolved after the club reached a new agreement with Bayern Munich.
- The 24-year-old striker will join Bayern on an initial loan worth £14.3m, with an obligation to buy for £56.2m contingent on a specific number of appearances.
- The deal was struck after more than 48 hours of uncertainty, during which the transfer initially collapsed and Jackson defied Chelsea's request to return to London.
- Chelsea had initially halted the deal following a hamstring injury to striker Liam Delap, which is expected to keep him out for six to eight weeks.
- Jackson's departure, alongside Christopher Nkunku's move to AC Milan and Delap's injury, leaves Joao Pedro as Chelsea's sole fit number nine, while Facundo Buonanotte has joined on loan.
