Christopher Nkunku (27) is enjoying being able to play football again in recent months after a cascade of injuries last year. On the pitch, the French striker from Chelsea has an excellent record of 10 goals and an assist in 18 matches, in all competitions. However, the former Parisian did not hide the fact that he did not like the fact of having to share his playing time too much due to the very large squad of the Blues.

An observation which gave rise to the first rumors of departure. Rumors from the corridors reinforced by a declaration from the principal concerned about a possible return to PSG. Since then, the London club has made it known that it has no intention of parting with an element under contract until 2029. And this Wednesday, as part of the press conference preceding the C4 meeting against the Germans from Heidenheim, Blues coach Enzo Maresca responded to Nkunku.
“Nkunku would like to play more? And I would like to have long hair”
« Nkunku would like to play more? And I would like to have long hair (Maresca is bald, editor’s note)! That's how it is. João Félix played in the Premier League against Leicester the other day. Christopher will play matches in the Premier League. But we have a lot of players, we want to share the minutes with each of them. We want to make them all happy, even if it's not always possible “, he declared, before being relaunched on a possible departure of his player in January.

« Now is not the time to think about the winter transfer window. It's the end of November, we have a lot of matches to play, especially in December. Then we'll see. I spoke to Christophe Nkunku a few days ago and he didn't say he was unhappy. It is certain that he would like to play minutes, but like many players. We have a lot of matches. Against Leicester, João Félix, Enzo Fernández and Benoît Badiashile played. Since we started, for me, there are not two teams, but only one. » It is said.
