Now used to relying on a false number 9, Luis Enrique may have received the ideal proposal. The Paris Saint-Germain coach would undoubtedly be delighted to welcome Christopher Nkunku, the striker trained in the capital.
While awaiting the imminent return of Gonçalo Ramos, recovered from his ankle injury, Paris Saint-Germain is considering the idea of strengthening its offensive sector. The lack of efficiency in the Champions League necessarily alerted the managers as well as the coach Luis Enrique. What if the ideal solution came from a veteran of the house?
According to journalist Romain Beddouk, Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku has the ideal profile to satisfy the Spanish coach. “ It has the particularity of bringing together certain conditions which appear achievable.commented the columnist from France Bleu Paris. Already, he corresponds to what Luis Enrique wants. He is a hyper-versatile offensive player, who can play on the side, but also in the middle as a false number 9, being a perfect link with the midfielders. »
Beyond his qualities, the Parisian titi also has the advantage of knowing the club. “ Second point, he is a young man who really knows the context because he had a lot of luck with the pros. He played nearly 80 matches with PSGrecalled the journalist. And it is thanks in particular to these years that he was subsequently able to explode abroad, even being the best player in the German championship with Leipzig.. » Since then, Christopher Nkunku has joined Chelsea in 2023 as part of a transfer worth around 60 million euros. But the French international finds himself barred by the competition.
Nkunku still attached to PSG
« And then last point for him, his situation at Chelsea means that he might want to leave this winter. He's not necessarily the number 1 choice there at his position, they have an Englishman called Cole Palmer. And as he always says he follows and loves PSG, it could be a feasible operation. Not everything is perfect with Christopher Nkunku; he is a little physically fragile and often gets injured. But in the PSG rotation, it can really be an interesting element for the rest of the season, especially since Luis Campos and Luis Enrique suggest that they could recruit one more offensive player this winter », a conclu Romain Beddouk.
