“If I continue to be treated as a second choice player when I am clearly better then I would have no choice but to leave in January” – An underrated Chelsea’s seven-goal star is prepared to push for a departure in 2025 if his situation at the club doesn’t improve.

Christopher Nkunku has struggled to secure a spot in Chelsea’s starting lineup this season, and if his situation doesn’t improve, the 26-year-old is ready to seek a move in 2025.

The forward joined the London club last summer in a £52m transfer from RB Leipzig amid high expectations, following an impressive stint in Germany.

Injuries hampered Nkunku’s first season at Chelsea, and he approached the 2024/25 campaign aiming to make a strong impact.

Despite delivering seven goals in 11 appearances, his progress has been limited by Enzo Maresca’s preference for Nicolas Jackson as the team’s main striker.

As a result, Nkunku has started just one of the first seven Premier League matches.

According to Football Insider, the former RB Leipzig star is dissatisfied with his current role, and sources indicate that if his situation remains unchanged, he is prepared to push for a transfer from Stamford Bridge next summer.

PSG have expressed interest in Chelsea’s Christopher Nkunku, with reports this week indicating that several clubs are closely monitoring his situation.

The Ligue 1 champions, where the 26-year-old began his career, are reportedly keen on the French international, and a return to Paris could appeal to him.

The coming months will be crucial for Nkunku’s future, as Chelsea will be reluctant to let the former RB Leipzig star depart.

Although there will be chances for him to showcase his abilities in the Premier League, Nicolas Jackson’s strong start—contributing four goals and three assists in Chelsea’s first seven matches—has limited Nkunku’s opportunities.
