Nicolas Jackson has continued to react to updates from Chelsea players after joining Bayern Munich from the West London side.
The striker’s loan move to the Bundesliga was initially cancelled, but Jackson completed his switch to Bayern Munich before the end of the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Chelsea successfully signed Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton before the transfer window closed.

Gusto performed well to help Chelsea beat Fulham on 30 August, while he also started in their 5-1 victory over West Ham United on 22 August.

However, with competition from fellow right-back Reece James, the France international must maintain his high standards of late to continue being selected in Maresca’s starting 11.
Furthermore, Gusto already had to settle for a place on the substitutes’ bench on the Premier League’s opening weekend, as the Stamford Bridge club were held to a 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace.
Chelsea face a vital month in September, as their Champions League campaign gets underway with a tough clash away at Bayern Munich.
Such tests will likely see Gusto rotating with James, but if the Frenchman can continue performing like he did against Fulham, he could be Maresca’s first choice over the England international.
Meanwhile, the Stamford Bridge side can earn their third consecutive Premier League victory when they face Brentford on 13 September.
