"AC Milan made Christopher Nkunku their most expensive summer signing, and they are yet to see any real return on their investment. As MilanNews report, Nkunku signed from Chelsea in the summer for around €40m and is currently a notable absentee in terms of attacking production. With his still-subdued physical condition and a position on the pitch that is still unclear, he will have to shift gears soon."
"One mitigating factor is the condition that Nkunku arrived in. Despite doing preseason with Chelsea (where he scored in and won the Club World Cup), once he arrived at Milan the gravity of the situation was immediately apparent. He's not at his best physically, and he's also recovering from a big toe injury that he sustained while playing for the national team. He needs time, of course, but it's November and a lot of time has already passed."
Christopher Nkunku joined AC Milan from Chelsea for around €40m but has provided little attacking return so far. His only goal came in the Coppa Italia against Lecce, where he showed qualities playing as a No.9. Nkunku is more of a second striker who drops deeper, finds space, and drifts wide rather than a natural centre-forward. He arrived with subdued physical condition and is recovering from a toe injury sustained on international duty. Despite preseason involvement with Chelsea, he is not at peak fitness. More goals, clearer positioning, and greater attacking character are expected soon.
