"Christopher Nkunku probably spent most of the winter window reading rumours about his AC Milan exit, but he responded on the field. As La Gazzetta Dello Sport (seen below) report speak of the errors that Nkunku made against Bologna firstly. There was the couple of missed chances which, by his own admission, could have netted him a hat-trick, and the fact that he produced a red balloon from his sack rather than yellow to match the kit."
"After the (significant) initial difficulties, the former RB Leipzig man has definitely picked up steam recently. Sure, he may not yet be at the golden levels of his years in Germany, but he's already surpassed (in the league at least) the numbers he achieved during his two seasons at Chelsea."
"In 2026, no one has scored more goals than Nkunku for Milan (three, equal with Adrien Rabiot). The goals - two from the penalty spot - are, however, just the symbol of a positive moment. Chris is finally finding consistency, also due to some other injuries in attack. In Bologna, we saw some of his almost forgotten moves: the splendid long ball at the start to Loftus-Cheek (who was stopped by Ravaglia), the dribble past the goalkeeper that (smartly) led to the penalty which he then coolly converted, and the nutmeg on Zortea which has gone viral."
Christopher Nkunku faced persistent winter transfer rumours but produced decisive on-field performances for AC Milan. He missed some chances against Bologna yet won and converted a penalty and executed notable plays such as a long ball to Loftus-Cheek, a dribble leading to a penalty, and a viral nutmeg on Zortea. He scored a brace against Verona at the end of 2025 and has shown growing consistency and confidence in 2026. Nkunku has three goals for Milan this year, has become more involved in build-up play, and has surpassed his Chelsea league numbers.
