"The attacking duo of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku will remain therefore, with the latter determined to confirm his status as the Rossoneri's top scorer since Christmas. The former Chelsea player, now on five goals in Serie A, has got firing after a difficult start. In Bologna, alongside Adrien Rabiot, he was the best player. He was part of the build-up to make it 1-0 before winning and converting the penalty that doubled the lead."
"Nkunku arrived from Chelsea at the end of August for €37m plus bonuses and signed a contract until 2030. The Rossoneri opted for him when they decided to acquire a striker with technique, rathe than a more traditional centre-forward with size and height. The ex-Leipzig star's first few months weren't easy due to his poor physical condition and an injury sustained while playing for the national team, but now the Diavolo have understood his value and are relying on him in their pursuit of the Champions League, and Inter."
"The No.18 - who wants a great end to the season to convince Deschamps to take him to the World Cup - has no intention of stopping now. Not everything went as he hoped for with the Blues, so this is a revenge mission of sorts. Nkunku can play in any position, including centre-forward,"
AC Milan return to action after ten days with minimal changes expected to the side that beat Bologna 3-0. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku will continue as the attacking duo, with Nkunku in strong form and fully fit. Nkunku has five Serie A goals and has started three consecutive matches, contributing key moments and a penalty in Bologna. He joined from Chelsea for €37m plus bonuses on a contract to 2030 as a technically gifted forward. Early fitness and injury issues hampered him, but Milan now rely on his versatility and goals as they pursue Champions League qualification and domestic rivals.
