"Calciomercato.com recall that Nkunku left his mark on the game at the Stadio Dall'Ara. The nutmeg on Zortea, the through ball to Ruben Loftus-Cheek, the penalty won and scored that made it 2-0: these are all signs of a player fighting to prove he can be useful to Milan. Nkunku now a 'different player' It took longer than expected to settle in, but today Nkunku is 'a completely different player' compared to the version we saw in the first 15 league games."
"He is an atypical centre-forward who can also play behind the striker or on the wing. Igli Tare acquired him from Chelsea last summer, seeing the Frenchman as an opportunity not to be missed when Chelsea decided to offer a discount on their initial €50m asking price. In the end, €38m plus bonuses was enough, which the director saw as an victoy."
"All the rumours of a possible departure didn't help things, and Nkunku felt the feeling of being put on the market just four months after his arrival. At the same time, he held firm, rejecting offers from Fenerbahçe, Roma and Napoli. Nkunku's mind and heart are now focused solely on the pitch. At the end of the season, the former Chelsea man will speak directly with the club to determine whether or not they have faith in his performance and abilities."
Christopher Nkunku delivered a decisive performance against Bologna, contributing a nutmeg on Zortea, a through ball to Ruben Loftus-Cheek and a won-and-scored penalty that made it 2-0. Nkunku has evolved into a more incisive attacker compared to his first 15 league games, attacking the goal, beating defenders and shooting with power and precision. He offers positional versatility as a centre-forward, behind the striker or on the wing. Igli Tare signed him from Chelsea for €38m plus bonuses after Chelsea discounted an initial €50m asking price. Allegri backed him despite criticism, and Nkunku rejected offers while focusing on proving his worth; an end-of-season review will decide the club's faith in him.
