According to Manuel Bonke, Kompany plans to use Jackson flexibly to allow him to play in all offensive positions.

Kompani plans to use Jackson in all offensive positions. He will serve as Kane's substitute, as an alternative to Dias and Olisse on the wing, and will also serve as the second striker, using his physical fitness to show different characteristics from Gnabry.

Jackson's arrival gave Kompany more opportunities to adjust the lineup flexibly based on the situation in the game, and he didn't have many such opportunities in the first few games of the season.
