"When Nkunku joined Milan in the summer, there were certainly questions about the Frenchman and his ability to be the striker that Massimiliano Allegri requested. So far, those questions are proving to be right. With a goal in the Coppa Italia, the return on the investment is not looking great thus far. Of course, there is time to turn it around, but considering Santiago Gimenez's time at the club, it may not be as long as he may hope."
"Papin keeps the faith in Nkunku Nkunku has talent; it is easily seen. However, a certain type of player succeeds in Italy, and Nkunku must become more like them, whilst keeping his own traits. Speaking to Carlo Pellegatti, Papin expressed what he needs to do to improve, via Calciomercato.com. "Nkunku isn't physically like the others; he needs technique and speed, and in Italy, it's difficult because the defences are strong. It's difficult for him, but we're talking about a very good guy and a great player.""
Christopher Nkunku joined AC Milan in the summer amid questions about his suitability as the striker requested by Massimiliano Allegri. So far performances have underwhelmed, with only one goal in the Coppa Italia and limited return on investment. Comparisons to Santiago Gimenez suggest club patience may be short. Nkunku displays clear talent but lacks the physical profile common among successful strikers in Italy and must combine his technique and speed with greater adaptation to strong Italian defenses. Confidence remains in his quality, but tangible improvement and better goal output are required to secure his role at the club.
