Christopher Nkunku breaks silence on possible Chelsea exit as statement issued

Christopher Nkunku of Chelsea has provided a vague update on his future amid speculation of a possible return to Paris Saint-Germain.

Unfortunately, his debut season at Stamford Bridge was disrupted by injuries, with a pre-season knee problem pushing back his Premier League debut to December, and a hamstring injury in February further limiting his time on the field.

This season, despite having fewer starts under new manager Enzo Maresca, the 26-year-old has rediscovered his form, scoring seven goals in 11 matches across all competitions.

While speaking to Telefoot, Nkunku said: “PSG remains a big club, but there has not been one approach.”

Nicolas Jackson has been handed the number-nine starting berth in most of Chelsea’s games this campaign. And Maresca has recently acknowledged this.

“Both Nicolas and Christo are doing fantastic, not only because they are scoring but in the way they work off the ball and sacrifice for the team. That is very important for both of them,” he told Chelsea’s website last month.

“It’s a nice problem when you have two strikers who continue to score. Unfortunately, Marc Guiu is not scoring at this moment but hopefully soon he can score goals as well.”

He added: “When you can decide which one to start with, it’s nice. And because they are in a good moment we can use them both.”

Chelsea return to action after October’s international break with a trip Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday, October 20.
