BREAKING: At Last, Nicolas Jackson Breaks Silence After Quitting Chelsea For Bayern Munich
Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea’s loanee, has finally broken his silence after leaving the club for Bayern Munich.
The Senegal international joined the Bundesliga champions on a season-long loan from Chelsea after slipping behind boss Enzo Maresca’s striker selection at Stamford Bridge.
His loan deal almost collapsed on transfer deadline day after Liam Delap suffered an injury, but Bayern Munich eventually struck a new deal with Chelsea to acquire the player’s signing.
Speaking to TuttoSport about his move away from the Premier League west London club, Jackson said he had no regrets leaving Maresca’s side.
“[There were] very strong emotions, but not for the reasons you might think,” Jackson said (via Mirror).
“I was simply very happy to sign for one of the biggest clubs in the world, to discover another league and other great players.
“At the same time, I was a little sad to leave Chelsea, my teammates, and the fans.
“Football is full of cycles. I respect Maresca, I learned a lot from him, he has his own ideas and style.
“I have no regrets, just gratitude for my time at Chelsea.”
