What if Enzo Maresca lost Christopher Nkunku? The French center forward born in 1997 has not yet managed to establish himself as Chelsea’s permanent starter, but when the Italian coach called him into action, especially in the Conference League, he always sent out strong and impactful signals. The brace and the assist against Noah, before that the hat-trick at Barrow in the Carabao Cup. And he is also enjoying satisfaction with the national team, elected from the first minute at San Siro against Italy following the explicit choice of coach Didier Deschamps – also given the absence of Mbappé.
An interested person pops up
The question, however, is legitimate and arises from a market indiscretion launched by the English portal TEAMtalk. The Borussia Dortmundin fact, would be chasing Nkunku: establishing a deal for the winter transfer market seems very unlikely, if not impossible, except in the case in which Chelsea decides to sell him on loan. A decision that could arise from the player himself’s desire to have more space to stand out. Meanwhile within the German leadership – he reports Sky Sports UK – the name of the 27-year-old Frenchman has already been mentioned, even if it is not a current topic at the moment. Yet she is not the only one interested, with Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United keeping a close watch on the player’s performances in the Premier League.
It is not a spare tire
Overall, the 27-year-old scored 11 goals and 1 assist in 19 games played. Yet another demonstration of the quantity of talented players that Enzo Maresca has in his hands. Finally the answer that was waiting for the company in the face of the myriad of investments made in recent years.
