Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has no plans of playing for the club following his season-long loan at Bayern Munich, according to his agent.

The Senegal international signed for the Bavarian giants on deadline day and they have a conditional obligation to buy him if he were to make 40 starts.

That is highly unlikely to happen with Harry Kane being the first-choice striker and Jackson will return to the Blues to be sold next summer.

Jackson's agent Diomansy Kamara has now revealed that the chapter with the Blues and manager Enzo Maresca is closed for the 24-year-old ace.

He said: "Absolutely not, absolutely not. Today at Chelsea, the relationship with Maresca isn’t necessarily the best."

Jackson was also on the radar of multiple Premier League clubs over the summer, but the Blues preferred to loan him out abroad for the season.

There will be plenty of interest in signing permanently him next summer. Aston Villa could see him as a potential upgrade on Ollie Watkins.
