Nicolas Jackson and Chelsea will evaluate their options together in the summer when the 24-year-old striker is due to return from his season-long loan at Bayern Munich. There was interest in Jackson from other clubs in Italy and Spain and also the Premier League last summer. All options are on the table, sources say, with Jackson focusing on trying to seize his opportunities to impress with Bayern in the meantime in the build-up to the summer.

Delap pulled up with his issue on the same day that Jackson was travelling to Munich for his medical.
