After finishing his loan spell at Bayern, Nicolas Jackson returns to join the squad of Chelsea's new head coach Xabi Alonso. The Senegalese striker is still highly regarded at Stamford Bridge and will join the team for pre-season training. This is reported by Goal.com .
The club's management wants Xabi Alonso to personally assess the 24-year-old's potential before deciding whether to sell him. Although Jackson spent the 2025-26 season in Germany, the Daily Mail reports that there is still faith in him within the London club.
The striker, who previously left the team due to misunderstandings with former coach Enzo Maresca, is currently attracting interest from Premier League and foreign clubs. However, the transfer issue will not be considered until Alonso, who starts on July 1st, decides his future.
Competition in Chelsea's attacking line is fierce. The current squad includes players like Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, and Emmanuel Emegha. The team's absence from European competitions next season may necessitate a squad reduction, but Jackson's ability to play on the wings increases his chances.
