"Christipher Nkunku's exploits are underpinned by the coach's insistence. He said some time ago amid criticism aimed at the Frenchman: "For those arriving from outside, it can take time, it's a question of character. Nkunku is finally growing." Thus, after a dim first half of the season, the spotlight has turned: five goals in the last six games, as many as in his previous 48 matches across Serie A and the Premier League."
"The former Chelsea player broke the deadlock with a brace against Verona, followed by a goal in Florence, a penalty in Como, and another in Bologna. Three of his five total goals have come from the spot, a distinction that in no way detracts from his merit. Being a ruthless penalty taker is a source of pride, while his other goals have highlighted the other qualities of a complete centre-forward."
"As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report, the mercato often plays out in a league of its own as big signings fail while low-cost acquisitions that prove to be hugely impactful. In the summer and in January, fans follow the negotiations closely, hoping their team hits the jackpot."
AC Milan's summer and winter transfers have produced visible improvement, combining high-profile and low-cost signings. Niclas Füllkrug's winter arrival was integrated immediately, and late-window events around Jean-Philippe Mateta culminated in a decisive win over Bologna. The newest additions have lifted the squad into a higher gear, improving point totals and confidence across the team. Massimiliano Allegri has shaped the renewed mentality and style of play and maximised available technical resources. Christipher Nkunku has shown significant progress, scoring five goals in six games after a slow start, including penalties and varied finishes that demonstrate centre-forward qualities.
