A furious Nicolas Jackson reportedly doesn't want to return to Chelsea despite his loan move to Bayern Munich being cancelled.
Jackson had been set to join the German club on loan but Chelsea intervened to cancel the move after fellow striker Liam Delap suffered an injury during the win against Fulham on Saturday.
According to The Telegraph, Jackson is determined to ensure that a loan move to Bayern still materialises.
Chelsea told Bayern that the loan was cancelled and that Jackson could no longer undergo a medical.
Bayern had been set to pay a £13million (€15million) fee as part of a move for Jackson with the deal having also included an option to buy for £56million (€65million) plus a sell-on clause.
However, Chelsea now expect Jackson to fly back to England from Munich.

Reports in Jackson's home country of Senegal suggest that the 24-year-old has not accepted Chelsea's decision to cancel the loan.
Commenting on Delap's injury, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca said: 'Liam's injury doesn't look good. In terms of another striker, to be honest, we just finished the game from the changing room and came here for the press conference, so now after, when we finish, we're going to sit and we'll see if we take any decision. That's all.'
Jackson was pushed further down the pecking order at Chelsea this summer after the arrivals of Delap and Joao Pedro.
Since joining Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023, Jackson has made 81 appearances for the club and has scored 30 goals, while he has provided 12 assists.
