In the "Ask about Chelsea" column, we have received a lot of questions about the possibility of 24-year-old Jackson returning to Stamford Bridge again. Bayern Munich have made it clear that they are unlikely to sign Jackson permanently when his loan contract expires. This suggests that the Senegal international will at least return to Chelsea after his loan period ends.
After returning to Stamford Bridge, his future will face various possibilities. He may be included in the first-team lineup by the new coach, he may also be loaned to other teams for training again, and he may even be directly listed for sale. At present, given that Chelsea's head coach selection for next season has not yet been determined, and the new coach's tactical system and employment preferences are still unknown, it is difficult for the outside world to accurately assess which of the above scenarios is most likely to occur.
It should be mentioned that Bournemouth almost brought Jackson into their ranks six months before Chelsea agreed to sign him. If the deal had been successful, Jackson would have been able to join Andoni, who is one of the current Chelsea coach candidates. Illora is known for his ability to train young players and build a dynamic offensive system. His coaching style may be more in line with Jackson's own technical characteristics. However, the actual situation is that during Jackson's first season at Chelsea, his personality and performance on the field were in conflict with former head coach Enzo Maresca and some of the club's current senior staff. His playing time was affected to some extent by these problems, and his status in the team was also changed by these problems. These problems also became one of the reasons why he was eventually loaned out.
Chelsea currently have forward Liam Delap, young forward Marc Giu, and Joao Pedro who has established a starting position. Strasbourg forward Emmanuel Emerga will also join in the summer. Like Jackson, at least two of these players may be sold in the summer.
