One Chelsea star is heavily linked with exit this month. He is now receiving genuine interst from his former club. All these signs suggests that the player’s time at West London is surely up.
The Blues had a very vast squad at the start of the season. Enzo Maresca came on and took some bold decisions. Many of the stars left the club either permanently or on loan. However, the squad depth was still way high.
This resulted in many stars regularly sitting on bench this season. Eventually, this has resulted in many of these stars getting unhappy. They are demanding for move away from Stamford Bridge this month. One of them is Christopher Nkunku.
Nkunku to leave Chelsea this month?
Christopher Nkunku joined the Blues in 2022 but his first season was filled with injuries. This season he has made good comeback and has played very well so far. He has 12 goals and 4 assists in 27 games so far this season.
However, Nkunku is still not the regular starter and plays very less in Premier League. He has started only 3 league games and played only 391 minutes. In addition, he has to play as striker which is not his preferred position.
Nkunku is unhappy with his role under Maresca and is keen to exit this month. Now, Ben Jacobs has reported that French champions PSG hold genuine interest to sign Nkunku. Along with them, there are some other top clubs interested in Nkunku.
The 27 year old came up through PSG academy and started his senior career there too. He played 78 games for PSG’s first team before joining RB Leipzig in 2019. This relationship can give the Ligue 1 giants a lead in the pursuit of Nkunku. However, it will depend if they are willing to meet the expectations of Chelsea in the deal.
