Kompany Praises New Signing Nicolas Jackson At Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany is supporting new striker Nicolas Jackson. He promises the Chelsea transfer won’t face pressure as Jackson adjusts to life in Germany.

WHAT KOMPANY SAID

The Belgian coach spoke positively about Jackson after the Senegalese forward’s first practice with his new teammates. “It was a good training but his personality fits well with the team,” Kompany explained. “He’s a good person and my wish is that he will score a lot of goals but he will not be put under pressure from my side.” The comments suggest Jackson has already made a strong impression at Allianz Arena following his complex transfer from Chelsea.

THE TRANSFER SAGA

Jackson’s move to Bayern was one of the summer’s most dramatic transfers. The deal was initially agreed on August 30th for £70.5m but was called off hours later when Chelsea’s Liam Delap got injured. Jackson stayed in Germany hoping the move could still happen. After intense negotiations, Bayern finally secured him on September 1st with an initial loan fee of €15 million and an obligation to buy for €80 million. According to reports, his agent called it “one of the hardest deals we have done” as Bayern Munich agreed to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea on a one-year loan.

JACKSON’S BAYERN CHALLENGE

The 23-year-old striker joins Bayern Munich as they sit top of the Bundesliga table, three points clear of their nearest rivals. Jackson will be expected to provide goals as Bayern chase domestic and European trophies this season. His arrival adds depth to Bayern’s attacking options, especially after a mixed start to the Bundesliga season. Kompany’s supportive approach suggests the club wants Jackson to settle quickly without immediate expectations being too much for him as they aim to maintain their strong start.

WHAT NEXT FOR JACKSON

Jackson’s integration into Kompany’s system will be crucial for both player and club. Bayern’s next match comes against Hoffenheim in what promises to be a stern test of their title credentials. The former Chelsea striker hopes to make his debut soon, starting to repay the trust in him during his tough transfer. His attitude has already won over his new manager, setting a positive tone for his Bayern career as Jackson looks forward to facing his former club Chelsea next week.
