Jackson saga edges closer to a conclusion

NICOLAS Jackson's prolonged Chelsea exit is set finally to be resolved after the club agreed a new deal with Bayern Munich.

- 

The 24-year-old will move on an initial loan worth £14.3m with an obligation to buy for £56.2m if a certain number of appearances is reached.

It came hours after the striker's agent insisted he would “fight with everything” to secure a move away from Stamford Bridge.

The fiasco over the striker's future had dragged on for more than 48 hours by the time an agreement for his departure was struck, with Jackson having defied Chelsea's request that he fly back to London after the deal collapsed on Saturday.
