Nicolas Jackson's advisor has sent a defiant message after Chelsea put an end to hopes of the forward joining Bayern Munich on loan. The Senegal striker travelled to Munich on Saturday to complete a deal but saw his permission to conduct a medical revoked before the end of the day.
A hamstring injury to Liam Delap, which looks set to rule out the Blues ace for six to eight weeks, against Fulham forced Chelsea into a tough stancehaving encouraged Jackson's exit this summer. And now, unless Bayern return with a suitable offer for a permanent deal, Jackson's hopes of a spell in the Bundesliga look to be over.
But former Fulham forward Diomansy Kamara, part of Jackson's team, has appeared to suggest they are not yet giving up on the move. The former Villarreal star's agents are working to revive the move after Chelsea previously accepted a loan fee of £13million, with an option to sign the 24-year-old permanently next summer for £56.2m.
With Jackson left furious over Chelsea's U-turn, a return to Stamford Bridge is not straightforward. Kamara's latest social media posts have indicated as much.
Commenting on another user's Instagram story which said 'Uncle @diomansykamara we're not going back', the former striker commented: "Airplane doesn't walk backward..."

A second story the read: "Of course it's hard... It's supposed to be hard. If it's easy, everyone would do it. Hard is what makes it great."
Bayern director Max Eberl has revealed his team will try to find a solution after being forced to accept that Jackson must return to west London. “I'm not in a position to act," Eberl told BILD.
"We will tell the player and his agent that they have to go back to London, he’s Chelsea player. For final 48 hours, we'll try to find a solution.”.
Earlier this summer Jackson was told it was better to leave. Enzo Maresca suggested the forward not be part of his squad if he remained.
“It’s better for Nico if what he desires is going to happen," said the Italian earlier this month. “He is available, but he’s not going to be part of the squad because we have two players in that position — and we know that something can happen before the transfer window closes.
"The player is open to leave. If he finds a good solution, he’s going to leave."
