Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

N. Jackson is a 25-year-old centre-forward at Bayern München, rated 75.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 80th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (39.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.78 goal contributions per 90 (0.69 goals, 0.09 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jackson.

Judged on this season alone, Jackson graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 36 of the 36 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga, on 8 goals and 1 assist in 23 appearances (0.781 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 76, top 28% of the 36 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga. At 25 Jackson is in his prime years, and a market index of 45.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Jackson missed 3 games through injury and 2 suspensions (international duty, suspension) out of roughly 34 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
