"AC Milan have a few reasons to smile after the win against Hellas Verona, but the biggest is Christopher Nkunku's breakout. Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) ask the question this morning: has Nkunku's season finally turned around? This is certainly the hope of Massimiliano Allegri and all Milan fans after the Frenchman's brace yesterday against Verona at San Siro. After the match, he stated: "I'm back after an injury, I needed time.""
"In recent weeks, there have been plenty of rumours about his future away from Milan, who would prefer not to sell him in January however. After months as a ghost, the former Leipzig man hopes to have finally sparked into life to become a key player for Allegri, who said after the game: "Nkunku is a very sensitive guy, he broke free with the penalty and then scored a goal that is within his reach.""
Christopher Nkunku scored a brace as AC Milan beat Hellas Verona, marking a potential turnaround in his season. The former Chelsea signing arrived permanently for around €40m and is regaining confidence after injury. Nkunku acknowledged needing time to recover and celebrated with his balloon gesture, amid transfer rumours that Milan would prefer to avoid a January sale. Manager Massimiliano Allegri called Nkunku sensitive and praised his penalty and subsequent goal. Milan regained compact defensive form, earning a clean sheet and reducing goalkeeper Mike Maignan's involvement. The result followed recent mixed performances, including a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo.
