Chelsea ‘expect’ Nkunku bids as Premier League clubs line up for ‘frustrated’ star forward
Chelsea reportedly expect a bid for Christopher Nkunku in January, with clubs in the Premier League and abroad keen to sign the ‘frustrated’ forward.
Nkunku has never managed to become a regular at Stamford Bridge. Injuries put paid to his chances of getting consistent minutes last season.
The form of Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer – who occupy the two main spots he could play – have stopped Nkunku getting more than 308 Premier League minutes and just two starts this season.
Chelsea expect bids for the striker who is want by clubs in the Premier League and abroad.
His struggles for minutes seem to be prompting clubs to go after him, though none are name in the report. In any case Nkunku is said to be frustrat at his spell with the Blues.
A recent report states that he was looking for a way out in January, and his representatives were hoping to find him a move.
That report stated that his former side, ยูฟ่าเบท https://ufabet999.app Paris Saint-Germain, remained interested in landing him, after previous reports on their interest.
It is also believe that Randal Kolo Muani could make room in the PSG striker ranks, and he could potentially head to the Premier League if Nkunku goes in the other direction, with Arsenal and Manchester United keen on him.
Whether Nkunku lands at PSG, another club in Europe or remains in the. Premier League remains to be seen.
But though Enzo Maresca stat he would not be leaving, he has hardly play the striker and if. He angles for a move with Chelsea knowing bids are coming, it does not seem unlikely that he’s allow to depart, at least on a loan deal.
Nkunku returned before Christmas, but only briefly. A hip issue sidelined him once more, and then a hamstring problem put paid to any involvement in March and April. By the time the 2023/24 campaign drew to a close, Nkunku had played barely 500 minutes of football in a Chelsea shirt.
‘To be honest, I don’t have the feeling I had a first season here,’ admits Nkunku. ‘It was very difficult. I played just a little bit. Some minutes here, some minutes there. I was very frustrat all the season.
‘Last year I didn’t have one moment in the season where I can say I felt good. After my knee injury, I didn’t feel like I now do. I had my knee, then my hip, then a muscle injury in a row. It never stopped. That’s why I was very frustrated.
