‘Nicolas Jackson one of the best strikers in the world’ – Agent Ali Barat insists

The agent of Nicolas Jackson, Ali Barat, has described him as one of the best strikers in the world.

Jackson, 24, signed for Bayern Munich from Chelsea on loan on transfer deadline day after his future with the English Premier League club became uncertain.

While there is a clause in the loan deal that could be triggered to make Jackson’s move to Bayern Munich permanent, the striker would need to prove himself.

Barat, who is his agent, does not doubt his abilities and believes the forward will do enough to warrant a permanent switch at the end of the 2025/26 football season.

“If Nico plays well, I hope £56 million for him is a good deal for everyone, given the current market prices for strikers. I really believe that, because if you look at his stats, Nico is probably one of the best strikers in the world when you look at him off the ball,” Ali Barat said in an interview.

He added, “Now he still needs to improve in other areas of his game, but I think working with Harry (Kane) will be perfect for him because Harry can help him improve enormously.”

Jackson is currently in England with Bayern Munich for the UEFA Champions League fixture against Chelsea.
