Jackson joined Bayern Munich on a season long loan on deadline day last summer, but things havenât exactly gone to plan in Germany.
The Senegalese has played second fiddle to the likes of Harry Kane and Luis Diaz for the majority of the season, and Bayernâs obligation to buy wonât be triggered.
Jackson has scored eight goals and registered four assists in 27 appearances in all competitions, although just 11 of those have been starts.
The 24-year-old will return to Chelsea at the end of the season, and reportedly a return to the first team squad hasnât been entirely ruled out.
Jackson has been linked with a move to AC Milan, but with Emmanuel Emegha arriving from Strasbourg, itâs hard to see where he would fit in unless Liam Delap departed.
Given Delapâs struggles, thereâs been a lot of talk around Jackson, and Mikel, whoâs previously been very critical believes the Blues miss him.
âWe are missing Nicolas Jackson,â he told The Obi One Podcast.
âWhat he gave us, no striker has given us. Yes, we are missing Jackson.â
