In clubs, winning returns are not legion. However, Christopher Nkunku could do the greatest good for PSG.
Absent from the France team since June 2023, Christopher Nkunku made a real winning return last month. Started by Didier Deschamps for the Nations League match against Israel (1-4 victory) on October 10, the Chelsea player opened the scoring, scoring his very first goal in the Rooster jersey.
Sunday evening, the French coach had him lined up again at the start of Milan, for the final group match, against Italy (1-3 victory).
“It’s a profile that we don’t have many in our football, commented Daniel Riolo after the meeting, on RMC. The guy is capable of keeping the balls, of playing in this false 9 role, but if you play him on one side, he can also perform well. He’s an excellent player. »
Nkunku, an ideal profile for PSG
For several weeks, a return of Christopher Nkunku to PSG has been regularly mentioned. “Maybe PSG will repatriate him,” imagines the sports journalist. He joined a club with a bloated squad (Chelsea, Editor’s note). Remember that he left Paris due to strong competition. But maybe PSG will offer him another chance. He has a very interesting technique. »
Trained with the Rouge et Bleu, the 26-year-old took part in 78 matches for the capital club, between 2015 and 2019. With the Blues since the summer of 2023, he has not managed to grant a starting place.
