The Senegal international sealed his move to Bayern Munich on Deadline Day, following a transfer saga that went on for a number of months as Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca pushed him out of the side.
The 24-year-old will rotate with England international and last year’s Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane and will hand Kompany versatility and flexibility with his squad selections for the rest of the season.
Speaking at the striker’s unveiling, Kompany stated that Jackson is a perfect fit for the German side who have made a great start to the season so far as they sit top of the league.
"This first phase is very important for him because he didn't have a proper preparation at Chelsea. He's a good athlete, and it won't take long for him to get back to 100 percent. We have to wait and see when he can play from the start.
“What I've seen so far is very good. He's a young player with a lot of quality. He'll pose a great threat with his speed and attacking drive."
"We're always very flexible up front, and I think that's a good thing. That's why Nicolas Jackson's profile makes him a perfect fit. That's why he'll play an important role next season."
Kompany’s side face Hamburger SV this weekend and although Jackson is unlikely to start, he could feature off the bench and give Kane a break after leading the side’s attack for a number of years.
