Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is reportedly being monitored by Everton as a potential transfer target as he’s now unlikely to join Bayern Munich permanently.

The Senegal international left Chelsea for a loan move to Bayern in the summer, and he’s not had the best start to life at the Allianz Arena.

With just two goals in his first ten games with Bayern, and the presence of Harry Kane as Vincent Kompany’s first-choice striker, it seems highly unlikely that Jackson has much of a future at the club.

According to Football Insider, this has led Everton to take a look at Jackson, with the 24-year-old supposedly viewed as the type of centre-forward who could be well suited to David Moyes’ tactics.

Nicolas Jackson transfer saga takes a fresh twist

Jackson didn’t really do enough at Chelsea to keep his place there, so few fans will have been surprised when he ended up leaving this summer.

It looked like Bayern were ready to give the player another chance to make it at a big club, with TBR Football recently reporting that this loan looked almost certain to be made permanent, but they’ve seemingly changed their minds about that quite quickly.

German outlet Bild also reported that an agreement was already in place for Jackson to sign a five-year deal with Bayern upon joining them permanently.

It now makes sense that other clubs are keeping an eye on Jackson’s situation, and Everton could be the right level for him.

Nicolas Jackson not the only striker on Everton’s list

Still, the report also mentions other strikers being considered by Everton, such as former Brentford man Ivan Toney.

Another name to watch could be Tottenham’s Richarlison, with the Toffees open to bringing the Brazilian forward back to the club, according to Football Insider.

It will be interesting to see who ends up getting the nod, but Jackson looks like an option well worth considering due to his likely availability next summer.

Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.

The 24-year-old has struggled for regular opportunities at Old Trafford, and he needs to leave the club in January to play more often. With the World Cup coming up next summer, he needs to play regularly with his club to cement his place in the national team. Zirkzee is yet to score a goal this season, and he has not started a single league game.

Joshua Zirkzee wants out

According to a report from TeamTalk, the striker is open to leaving Manchester United in January so that he can get his career back on track. Several clubs are keen on securing a signature, and West Ham United have also joined the race. They will face competition from Aston Villa and Everton.

West Ham have struggled to score goals, and signing the 24-year-old could prove to be a wise decision. He has previously shown his quality with Bologna, and he could be very useful for the London club if he manages to get back to his best. He has been hailed as a “good finisher” by Robert Lewandowski.

Similarly, Aston Villa could use more depth in the attacking unit. The Netherlands International could support Ollie Watkins in the attack. He is more than just a goal scorer, and his creativity and link-up play could add a new dimension to the Aston Villa attack. 

Finally, Everton need an alternative to Beto, who has not been at his best. It will be interesting to see if they can sign the Manchester United striker in January. All three clubs could prove to be excellent opportunities for the player. It remains to be seen whether he is prepared to continue in the Premier League. He has been linked with the return to Italy as well. It will be interesting to see what he decides.
