Football is my life; I hope to achieve more success – Nicolas Jackson

Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson has disclosed that he grew up determined to play football and nothing else.

The 24-year-old joined Bayern on loan from Chelsea in the summer window, a transfer that nearly collapsed after Liam Delap’s injury prompted the London club to reconsider letting him go.

However, Jackson had already arrived in Munich and had since settled into life at the German club, wearing the Bayern jersey for several months.

In a heartfelt interview with the club’s media team, Jackson spoke candidly about his journey and the role football has played in shaping his life.

He became visibly emotional when discussing his childhood and the dreams that led him to this point.

“Football is my life. Without football, I don’t know where I would be today,” he said. “As a child, I wanted to be like Ronaldo, like Kaká, like the big stars I looked up to. Football was the only thing I thought about. Now I’m living the dreams I had as a child, and I hope I can achieve even more.”

Although he is yet to hit top form at Bayern Munich, Jackson has been able to score a couple of goals since joining on loan from Chelsea.
