Christopher Nkunku
MILConverts from spot
Nkunku scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 win over Genoa.
Analysis: Nkunku opened the scoring in Sunday's 2-1 win at Genoa, converting the penalty that he won himself and sending Justin Bijlow the wrong way. The forward constantly threatened with runs in behind the defense and repeatedly caused problems for the opposition back line, while also adding one key pass, two crosses and one interception. Nkunku has now scored seven Serie A goals and contributed three assists across 31 appearances this season, establishing himself as one of the most productive all-around forwards in his side's attack during their push for UEFA Champions League qualification.
Buries PK in Atalanta fixture
Nkunku scored one goal to go with five shots (three on target), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Atalanta.
Analysis: Nkunku had a strong display coming off the bench at halftime, pacing his side in attempts and keeping his aplomb from the spot, ending a 12-game scoring drought. He'll likely start versus Genoa due to Rafael Leao's suspension and Christian Pulisic's (glute) subpar fitness.
Waiting on transfer
Nkunku will remain out of Chelsea's squad until a move elsewhere.
Analysis: Nkunku was playing in preseason until it was confirmed he was done at the club. He's been fit and ready for the past two weeks, but nothing has solidified in terms of his departure. Following a disappointing stint at Chelsea, there have been some reports of a possible move back to RB Leipzig where he scored 36 goals across the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons.
