(Photo by Christina Pahnke - sampics/Corbis via Getty Images) | Corbis via Getty Images Nicolas Jackson was brought into Munich at the end of last summer as somewhat of a desperation move to bring in a striker to back up Harry Kane. The Chelsea striker showed signs of potential in the Premier League but has failed so far to make a serious impression for the Bavarians. Sky Germany journalist Florian Pletternberg reports that Bayern Munich are leaning towards a departure for Nicolas Jackson this summer. While this news isn’t entirely surprising to hear, it is even less surprising as links towards Newcastle United’s are starting to seriously heat up. Gordon would come at a slight premium compared to the Senegalese striker but with a far more impressive resume in the Premier League, and can play far more roles in the squad than Jackson. While Jackson won’t go down as a Bayern legend, he has the chance to play a key role in the attack in the final weeks of the season in relief of Harry Kane and could even have a chance to come off the bench in a key Champions League match down the stretch. While this is likely the end for Jackson in Munich, he never left a major mark, but was also over-scrutinized due to the large loan fee that was paid to Chelsea. If this is indeed the end, thank you for everything Nicolas! *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on , , , or any leading podcast distributor…*
