Harry Kane hits back at critics of new Bayern Munich team-mate Nicolas Jackson with 'if you follow the Premier League' message

 Jackson embracing new challenge in Germany

Jackson helped the Blues to Conference League and FIFA Club World triumphs in 2024-25, but is now embracing a new challenge. He bid farewell to Stamford Bridge late in the summer transfer window.

Will £70m purchase option by triggered?

He has a contract in England through to 2033, with it considered to be unlikely that a £70 million ($95m) purchase option in his season-long loan will be triggered - through the number of appearances he makes - or taken up by Bayern.

Jackson provides alternative to Kane

Jackson will find himself filling back-up duties behind prolific England captain Kane for as long as Bayern’s talismanic striker is fully fit and firing. He will, however, provide useful competition and a rotation option for Vincent Kompany to draft in when required.

Kane - who knows all about life in the Premier League from his record-breaking spell at Tottenham - has said of Jackson, who made his Bayern debut off the bench in a 5-0 demolition of Hamburg: "If you follow the Premier League, you can see that he has many good attributes. He creates a lot of chances. And he's here to help the team. We're already working together in training and finishing together.

I feel he can have a big impact for us this season, with his speed, his movement, and his goals. He's a great addition for us. I didn't know him very well. We played against him in the summer [England vs Senegal], and he made a very good impression, he played a really good game."

Jackson's record: Can he fire for Bayern?

Jackson registered 30 goals for Chelsea through 81 appearances in all competitions. He has never broken the 20-goal barrier in a single season, but will be hoping to help Bayern successfully defend their Bundesliga title while competing for other major honours at home and abroad.
