This season, Christopher Nkunku has scored 10 goals in 17 matches. This is the most goals scored by a player in the Chelsea squad, surpassing Jackson (6 goals) or Palmer (7 goals). However, Nkunku has not scored any goals in the Premier League, but has scored mainly in the Europa Conference League and Carabao Cup.
In 10 Premier League appearances, Nkunku has had to start from the bench 9 times. Therefore, The Athletic reported that the French player is not satisfied with his situation. Accordingly, if he continues to be on the bench in the near future, Nkunku will consider moving to Chelsea as soon as possible. Some potential destinations for the former Leipzig star could be Man United or his old team PSG.
Chelsea's attack is currently extremely crowded. Enzo Maresca often prioritizes Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and Noni Madueke, but Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are also quality substitutes. Therefore, Nkunku's ability to play is not guaranteed.
Nkunku is only in his second season at Chelsea, having only made 11 appearances last term due to injury. The star has revealed that he is desperate to prove himself, according to Metro: “For me, this is definitely my first season at Chelsea FC. To be honest, I felt like my first season was a waste. Now I am very hungry. I believe I can do a lot.”
