Arsenal has been advised against pursuing Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku, following a disappointing loan from Chelsea's Raheem Sterling. Journalist Charles Watts expressed concerns that the acquisition would be detrimental, given the previous struggles with Sterling. Although acknowledging Nkunku's talent, Watts argues he lacks the impact needed to elevate Arsenal's squad. He warns that signing another underperforming Chelsea player could further disillusion the fanbase, emphasizing that such a move would not align with the club's aspirations to improve. Insights into Chelsea's potential player turnover add context to the transfer speculation.
I know Christopher Nkunku has been linked with Arsenal recently, but I just don't see that happening. I'm not sure the Arsenal fanbase could take the club signing another player from Chelsea.
Nkunku is a good player and probably hasn't played enough at Chelsea to be able to show all of his qualities, but I don't see him being the attacker that Arsenal need.
The last thing Arsenal need is to bring in another disillusioned Chelsea player who has struggled for form and confidence. Raheem Sterling has to be the last of that type of signing.
It makes sense that there could be a bit of a fire sale at Chelsea this summer after a disappointing season, but that inevitably also means we're going to hear a lot of speculation about flops.
