"Having arrived in the summer for over €40m (including bonuses), everyone certainly expected more from Nkunku, who has not yet showcased the qualities he displayed with Chelsea barring one moment. His only flash of brilliance came in the Coppa Italia match against Lecce on September 23, when Nkunku scored his first goal with an acrobatic finish from a cross. In Serie A, however, he made only two starts - against Roma and Parma - and has had many sub-par performances."
"He's a talent and has already shown it in the past. I know him because we grew up together, him, Maignan, and I. He arrived from Chelsea out of shape and has to adapt to a difficult league like Serie A, but now he's physically fit and motivated. I'm sure he'll find his feet as soon as he gets going."
Christopher Nkunku will start against Lazio after Christian Pulisic was left out with muscle fatigue. Nkunku joined AC Milan in the summer for around €37m plus €5m in bonuses, a total exceeding €40m. He has struggled to adapt, making only two Serie A starts and delivering mostly sub-par performances. His sole standout moment so far came in the Coppa Italia with an acrobatic goal against Lecce on September 23. Adrien Rabiot affirmed Nkunku's talent and said he is now physically fit and motivated. The Lazio match represents a critical opportunity for Nkunku to justify Milan's investment.
