"Finding space in the Chelsea team is a difficult task for many good players, and Christopher Nkunku was the latest to make the swap to AC Milan. In recent years, Chelsea and Milan have conducted a lot of business together. If it were a case of one or two deals, it would not be as recognised, but there are six cases in the past five years, each with different levels of success."
"Fikayo Tomori, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, Joao Felix and then Nkunku. Of course, Bakayoko and Felix are the standouts - for the wrong reasons - barring them, it has been a relatively successful exchange more times than not. "He's a strong player, I've said that several times. For several reasons, especially because we have Cole Palmer at his position, it's become difficult for Christo.""
Many quality players find it difficult to secure a place in the Chelsea team. Christopher Nkunku became the latest player to move from London to AC Milan. Six players have moved between Chelsea and Milan in the past five years, producing varied outcomes: Fikayo Tomori, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, Joao Felix and Nkunku. Bakayoko and Felix were notable failures, while most other moves yielded relative success. Nkunku has seen limited opportunities but has regained match sharpness and scored in the Coppa Italia. Enzo Maresca praised Nkunku and cited Cole Palmer's presence as a positional obstacle. Milan competes with Inter, Juventus and Roma for the Scudetto; Milan's lack of cups could be advantageous.
