Jackson’s agent reacts as Chelsea block Bayern loan switch

Nicolas Jackson’s proposed move to Bayern Munich collapsed at the last moment, with Chelsea recalling the striker after Liam Delap picked up an injury on Saturday against Fulham.

Jackson had already travelled to Germany for a medical and was set to sign a loan deal, but the Blues pulled the plug as Delap’s absence threatened to leave the club short of centre-forward options.

In the aftermath, the player’s agent, former Fulham striker Diomansy Kamara, took to social media with a cryptic message.

Responding on Instagram, he wrote: “Airplane doesn’t walk backward.” He later added in his own post: “Of course it’s hard… it’s supposed to be hard. If it’s easy, everyone would do it. Hard is what makes it great.”

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl confirmed the Bundesliga champions are moving on, stating they can only instruct Jackson and his representatives to return to London as they turn to alternative targets before the transfer deadline.
