Christopher Nkunkus days as Chelsea player seem to count increasingly after his brutal snub from the Matchday squad for victory against the local rival Fulham on Sunday.
Nkunku did not meet the hype of a signing of 52 million GBP, which made 87 combined goals and supported two years ago in the two seasons before his arrival.
The Frenchman missed most of the time last season because of an injury and was primarily an option under Enzo Maresca. He only started nine games of the Premier League and half of his 14-goal train was in the less challenging conference league.
Nkunku was strongly connected with a transfer in January in connection with the links to Bayern Munich and even Manchester United, but Sunday was the first time of December December for Kazakhstan when most of the squad of the first team-that it was completely left out.
Maresca did not attract the reason for the omission that was not due to fitness.
“Just a technical decision,” replied the Italian when reporters pushed them to the matter.
The Chelsea boss preferred Jadon Sancho, who flattered to deceive, but in the summer the club was permanently approaching, unless a penalty fee of 5 million GBP is paid, and the young wing player Tyrique George.
After Chelsea remained the derby in Craven Cottage, the latter was brought to play with just over ten minutes and achieved the equalizer afterwards. The blues then claimed the most important three points by Pedro Neto in the meantime to consolidate their hopes of the Champions League.
Nkunku has four more years in the long -term deal that he signed in 2023. Its market value is Transfer marketis from his 80 million. € highlight in 2022 and 2023 fell severely to just € 45 million (£ 39 million), which indicates that Chelsea will probably make a loss.
