Nicolas Jackson to Bayern Munich is OFF! Chelsea pull plug on loan deal after Liam Delap's injury despite wantaway striker travelling to Germany

Jackson, 24, had travelled to Germany after Bayern reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign the Senegal international on a season-long loan with an option to buy in a total package worth £69 million (€80m/$93.5m), according to The Athletic.    

However, the report states that Chelsea have now informed Bayern they will not be proceeding with the deal after Delap, 22, sustained a hamstring injury in their 2-0 victory over Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. 

Jackson had been deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea following the arrivals of Delap and Joao Pedro from Ipswich Town and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively this summer. Pedro, 23, has made a fantastic start to life at Stamford Bridge, scoring his second league goal of the season in his side's win over Fulham.  

Bayern are hoping to make it two league wins from two when they take on Augsburg in the Bundesliga later on Saturday. Meanwhile Chelsea are next in action when they travel to Brentford in the Premier League on September 13, following the conclusion of the upcoming international break.
