"Christopher Nkunku was pushed towards the door by AC Milan in January, but now, he could be the one doing the pushing. It seemed for most of the month that Nkunku would go. After all, he was under a lot of pressure to leave Milan just six months after arriving from the Premier League. It is an understandable position for the Rossoneri to have taken, too."
"As a result of this, there is now a forced faith in Nkunku. To some, he certainly was not the ideal striker to be leading the Diavolo into the second half of the season. However, that is the job that he finds himself tasked with. As Corriere dello Sport wrote this morning (via MilanNews), he has matched his goal tally for the past 48 league matches in his past six games."
Christopher Nkunku faced strong pressure to leave AC Milan in January after joining from the Premier League six months earlier. Several January opportunities to move failed to materialize, leaving Milan committed to him despite earlier intent to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta. Nkunku now leads the attack for the second half of the season, a role some view as imperfect. He has scored five goals in six games, equaling his prior 48-match league tally, but Massimiliano Allegri expects more from the €38 million signing. Nkunku has stepped up amid injuries and opposed leaving San Siro alongside Allegri and Igli Tare.
