Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku has voiced his frustration over limited playing time this season, according to Metro.
- Despite being the club’s top scorer with 10 goals in 17 appearances, Nkunku has only started one Premier League match.
- Nkunku has primarily been used as a substitute in the league, leading to dissatisfaction with his situation.
- A source informed The Athletic that while Nkunku is unhappy, he has not lodged a formal complaint or requested a transfer.
- If his circumstances do not improve, Nkunku may consider seeking a move in the summer transfer window.
- The intense competition for places in Chelsea’s attack, with Nicolas Jackson preferred as the main striker and players like Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto, and Noni Madueke favored for supporting roles, adds to his frustration.
- Nkunku had previously expressed a desire for a fresh start at Chelsea after an injury-plagued debut season limited him to just 11 Premier League appearances.
- He mentioned, “For me, this is my first season in Chelsea FC, for sure. To be honest, I don’t have the feeling I had a first season here. It was very difficult. When a player misses one season, he is very hungry. I am very hungry. My goal this season is to play and to be confident. I know if I am happy and confident in my body, I can show what I am able to do.”
