Nicolas Jackson is praised by teammate Harry Kane after his debut for FC Bayern.
“When you follow the Premier League, you can see that he has many good attributes. He creates many chances. And he is here to help the team,” quotes “Sky” Harry Kane after FC Bayern’s 5-0 win in the Bundesliga against promoted Hamburger SV.
He had the feeling that “that he can have a big impact for us this season – with his speed, movements and his gates. A great addition to us,” enthused England’s national team captain.
Jackson is loaned by FC Chelsea to Bayern. The attacker made his debut for the German record champions on Saturday evening. At the beginning of the second half, the 24-year-old came into the game at 4-0 for Serge Gnabry. Jackson played at the side of Kane for around 20 minutes before the latter was spared prematurely.
“From my point of view, he is not a backup. Many people see it that way, but he is someone who can play every position at the front,” said Kane. And further: “I think we will play together often.”
FC Bayern meets Jackson’s regular club
For FC Bayern it goes on Wednesday evening (9 p.m. in sport.de-Live ticker) in the Champions League of all people against Chelsea.
“He [Jackson] Had a few minutes today. Hopefully he can continue to refuel, play a few minutes on Wednesday and try to impress his old team, “Kane looked ahead of the duel with the regular club of the Bayern newcomer.
Incidentally, in the loan of Jackson, a purchase option of around 65 million is anchored, which is mandatory under certain conditions. As Bavaria’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß revealed in the “Doppelpass” of “Sport1”, the Senegalese international would have to play 40 games from the start.
