"Against Iceland, Christopher Nkunku played well, rounding off a decent performance with a goal for France. Now, AC Milan have a decision to make. Nkunku's start to the new season has been difficult, largely because Chelsea did not include him in their pre-season campaign. So, he was forced to play catch-up when Milan paid the big bucks to bring him to Italy. That process has been gradual, and he has been given chances here and there by Massimiliano Allegri."
"Before the Iceland game, the French manager stated that he 'needed consistency', but possessed immense quality. A sign of faith, and Nkunku paid it back when he was entrusted with a starting role, even if not in his favoured position. As Calciomercato.com write, he started on the left - where Rafael Leao would normally play - and scored a lovely goal. Proof that his condition and confidence are growing to the point where he is now the one smiling."
Christopher Nkunku scored for France against Iceland and strengthened his case for more playing time at AC Milan. His season started poorly after Chelsea left him out of their pre-season, forcing him to play catch-up following a costly transfer to Milan. Opportunities under Massimiliano Allegri have been sporadic, while Didier Deschamps gave him a significant chance by starting him. Nkunku began on the left, scored a fine goal, and showed improving fitness and confidence. His second international goal signals readiness to take on greater responsibility, possibly displacing Rafael Leao if form continues.
