Chelsea have seriously improved this season, but things are still far from pe♋rfect at Stam🍎ford Bridge.

Indeed, with such a bloated squad, Enzo Maresca is finding it difficult to give all of his plꦜayers the gametime they deserve.

Indeed, some Chelsea players are unhap꧒py with their minutes this season, and one player who hasn’t been best pleased is Christopher Nkunku.

Nkunku is actually Chelsea’s top scorer this season, but he’s barely start🍰ed a game in the league.

With January just around the corner, Nkunku’s future is seemingly u▨p in the air, and now, a European giant is keen on signing the Chelsea ꦫstar.

PSG keen on Christopher Nkunku

TBR Football understands that Paris Saint-Germain are continuing to s🧸how an interest in Christopher Nkunku and have a desire ꦍto bring him back to the Parc Des Princes.

TBꦓR Football previousl𝕴y revealed Nkunku’s concern at his lack of chances at Stamford Bridge, and that remains the case.

Nkunku has come to realise that he is not first choice under Enzo Maresca but TBR Football understands that he hꦯas not given up on his Chels♏ea career and is continuing to fight for his role.

PSG are monitoring the situation for their formeꦅr youth product and intermediaries have floated the idea to Chelsea that there could be an option to move Nkunku on with the prospect of a player in exchange.

Randal Kolo Muani, who has been told that he is not part of Luis Enrique’s plans, has been floa🎶ted as a possible option and although he is someone who Chelsea appreciate – they are not anticipating making a move at this point.

TBR Football understands that like with all squad players – Chelsea would consider serious offers for Nkunku, but they are not anticipating any 𒐪movement in January.

Chelsea themselves are continuing to do work on a potential striker addition but they are not anticipating making a move until theꦜ summer.

Randal Kolo Muani compared to Christopher Nkunku

The idea of swapping Kolo Muani for Nkunku has ꩲbeen floated to Chelsea, and this may be ꦗa deal that works for all parties.

Indeed, N🅘kunku isn’t getting the gametime he wants at Chelsea, and vice versa for Kolo Muani at PSG.

Nkunku would be a popular signing in Paris given that he’s a local lad who came through the academy, while Kolo Muani would ꦕadd another element to Chelsea’s at💎tack.

These 🐻two players are very comparable in that they both played their best football in the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig respectively.

Comparin☂g their stats in the Bundesliga certainly♋ makes for interesting reading.

At their best, Kolo Muani and Nkunku are both brilliant attacking options who can also create a massive number of c🐷hances for their teammates, but, for one reason 🌞or another, they’re not getting opportunities at their current clubs.

Kolo Muani has also been offered to Arsenal, and a move to the Premier League could be just the change of scenery the striker needs to re-ignite his career and dev🌠elop into a star.
