No way back: Jackson agent says Chelsea now 'the past'

Bayern are regarded as favourites to land the striker, though agent Diomansy Kamara says all options are open in terms of Jackson's next destination.

He told Foot Mercato: "Thirty goals in two seasons, without a single penalty. Ups, downs... but a chapter is closing for the Blues. Always grateful for the past, but already looking to the future, with optimism.

"Germany, Italy, England: the options are numerous.

"The decision is imminent. Thank you for your support, we're reading your messages... Nicolas Jackson, transfer expected within 48 hours."
