"Christopher Nkunku has been unable to make a difference for AC Milan so far, between needing time to improve his physical condition and failing to find the back of the net. Milan's signing of Nkunku came out of nowhere in the summer, striking an agreement with Chelsea at around €37m plus bonuses. In short, the Rossoneri paid a lot of money for the striker - as we highlighted in a recent bonus article, he's the most expensive player on the team."
"Massimiliano Allegri and Igli Tare still believe that he can play as a centre-forward, but the performances so far tell a very different story. The technical quality of Nkunku is obvious, but the problem is whether he can actually play in the striker role or not. At the end of the day, he's not scoring any goals (none in the league so far) and that's very costly for Milan, especially in a game like yesterday with huge chances missed."
Christopher Nkunku has been unable to make a difference for AC Milan so far, partly due to needing time to improve his physical condition and failing to score. Milan paid around €37m plus bonuses to sign Nkunku from Chelsea, making him the club's most expensive player. Recent performances have been disappointing despite Massimiliano Allegri and Igli Tare still viewing him as a potential centre-forward. Nkunku's technical quality is clear, but doubts remain about his suitability for a pure striker role. The lack of league goals and missed chances have proved costly, leaving Milan lacking a true No.9 and the transfer gamble unsettled.
