Nicolas Jackson has no intention of cutting his Bayern Munich loan move short in order to find another permanent move in January according to reports.
Jackson joined Bayern on a season long loan on deadline day in the summer, with an obligation to buy if he makes a certain amount of appearances, believed to be 40.
The Senegal international has scored three goals in 12 appearances in all competitions for the German Champions, with two of those coming in the Champions League.
Nicolas Jackson not planning to cut Bayern Munich loan short
Jackson has played as both the main striker and as a number ten so far this season, but of the 12 appearances he’s made, only five of those have been starts.
It’s been reported Bayern currently have no intention of activating the obligation to sign Jackson, thought to be £56.2m, having already paid a £14.3m loan fee.

There have been reports suggesting the 24-year-old could look to cut his loan short in January in order to find another permanent move.
However, The Standard have reported Jackson isn’t looking to do that, and intends to spend the season in Germany.
It therefore looks like the Blues will have to find Jackson a permanent suitor in the summer, with all bridges seemingly burnt with Chelsea.

Emegha made his Dutch debut in the recent 1-1 draw against Poland, and will provide another different attacking option to the ones Enzo Maresca already has at his disposal.
