Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku could leave amid lack of chances

The French International, Christopher Nkunku could potentially leave Chelsea due to lack of game time under manager Enzo Maresca in the summer transfer window, reports Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg.

This term, Nkunku has already netted 10 goals for the Blues across all competitions, despite not being a sure starter at Stamford Bridge, with just a single Premier League start in 11 matches.

The 26-year-old had joined Chelsea last year from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig with ample promise but did not quite have the desired start marked with injury. However, this season, the forward has been brilliant within the share of chances he has given.

Additionally, the forward has been played out of position by Maresca which has also affected his performance to an extent along with his preference in the pecking order.Thus, the Player’s camp would not be ruling out the prospect of exploring feasible options if the situation remains the same as the 2024/25 season advances.
