Little used by manager Enzo Maresca, Christopher Nkunku has a hard time with his situation at Chelsea. The Blues striker, particularly coveted by Paris Saint-Germain, has interesting opportunities to relaunch in January. But the French international is not considering a departure at the moment.
For Christopher Nkunku, the gathering of the France team represented a welcome break. The Blues striker played the entire Nations League match won in Italy (1-3) on Sunday. This season, the Chelsea player is no longer used to spending so much time on the pitch. The Frenchman has only started one Premier League match, it was on the opening day last August.
Since then, Christopher Nkunku has not been favored by manager Enzo Maresca who prefers the Senegalese Nicolas Jackson up front, or the untouchable Cole Palmer a notch lower. A hierarchy difficult to accept for the international tricolor. This Friday, The Athletic confirms that the striker trained at Paris Saint-Germain is having difficulty with his situation with the Blues. But Christopher Nkunku is not the type to complain. The player recruited for 60 million euros in the summer of 2023 refuses to create tension within the locker room. Its objective is not to claim an exit voucher in the winter transfer window either.
Nkunku wants to stay at Chelsea
The Londoner instead intends to take advantage of every opportunity to show off. In any case, despite the announced interest from Manchester United, from Saudi Arabia and even from Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea does not intend to part ways with Christopher Nkunku. A transfer is not on the table, any more than a simple loan. It must be said that the Blues remain aware of the qualities of the versatile attacker. Despite his short playing time, the replacement currently dominates Chelsea's scorer rankings in all competitions (10 goals). A flattering statistic for the striker who has suffered few injuries in recent years.
