KANE DEFENDS NEW TEAMMATE NICOLAS JACKSON
Harry Kane has publicly defended Nicolas Jackson after the Senegal international joined Bayern Munich on loan from Chelsea.
The 23-year-old striker moved late in the summer transfer window, signing a season-long deal. While his Chelsea contract runs until 2033, Bayern are not expected to trigger the reported £70 million purchase clause, which is linked to his number of appearances this season.

FROM CHELSEA SUCCESS TO BAYERN OPPORTUNITY
Jackson arrives in Munich after a successful spell at Stamford Bridge, where he helped Chelsea win both the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup in the 2024–25 season.
Despite scoring 30 goals in 81 appearances for Chelsea, Jackson has yet to surpass 20 goals in a single campaign. At Bayern, he is expected to provide competition and rotation behind Kane, offering another option for manager Vincent Kompany.

KANE HIGHLIGHTS JACKSON’S ATTRIBUTES
Kane praised his new teammate after Jackson made his Bayern debut in a 5-0 victory over Hamburg. The England captain was impressed by what he has seen in training and recalled Jackson’s strong showing against England during the summer.
“If you follow the Premier League, you can see that he has many good attributes. He creates a lot of chances. And he’s here to help the team. We’re already working together in training and finishing together.
I feel he can have a big impact for us this season, with his speed, his movement, and his goals. He’s a great addition for us. I didn’t know him very well. We played against him in the summer [England vs Senegal], and he made a very good impression, he played a really good game.”
