Chelsea intends to sell French striker Nkunku, the players are also open to leaving the team

According to the Sun, Chelsea Club intends to sell French striker Nkunku this summer, and the player himself is also open to leaving the team. Although the player's contract will expire in 2029, the two sides now have distrust each other and the breakup may be staged in advance.

In the summer of 2023, Chelsea spent 60 million euros to sign Nkunku from Leipzig. Judging from the performance in the preseason, the players showed good strength and competitive state. However, in the preseason match against Dortmund, Nkunku was seriously injured, and he was injured for four months. The newly bought car hit him without driving, which made Chelsea miserable. When Chelsea's offense was weak, fans missed Nkunku at all times.

The injury last season had a great impact on Nkunku. Although he gradually emerged from injuries this season, his condition was gone. This season, Nkunku played for Chelsea in 42 games to score 14 goals and assists 5 times, but these 14 goals only scored 3 Premier League goals, and the rest were scored in the Cup and European Union. Especially during Jacquesson's injury, Nkunku's performance was not convincing.

What is the difference between Enkunku and Jacquesson? Jacquesson's advantage is his speed, running position and enthusiasm, and the one that is insufficient may be the kick in front of the goal. Compared to Jacquesson, Nkunku can adapt to more positions, centers, front midfielders, and wingers can play. The most important thing now is not that he has technical problems, but that he appears in his mentality, running and fighting are not active, afraid of confrontation, and lacks the desire to win. This may be a psychological shadow caused by injuries. The Premier League is a league that emphasizes confrontation. In the long run, it will be a vicious cycle. The club loses patience and players lose confidence, and breaking up is natural.
