Nkunku scored one goal from his only on target effort in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus AFC Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
Nkunku took to the field after 79 minutes Saturday to replace Nicolas Jackson as the Blues lead striker. The change was effective with the French striker scoring the match winner through his only on target effort, an excellent strike from outside the box. He is usually deployed from the bench and is Chelsea's choice penalty taker if he is on the field. He has made just one start this season though he has been brought on from the bench in every match. During 2023-24 he bagged three goals from 11 appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Tipped to leave Chelsea?
F/MChelsea
October 19, 2024
Nkunku has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in the summer of 2025, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Nkunku has played as a backup this season, and despite being an expensive signing a few years ago, he hasn't been able to convince manager Enzo Maresca. Chelsea aren't open to moving the player on, having signed the 26-year-old from RB Leipzig in 2023, but the player could force a move away from Stamford Bridge since he's unhappy with his current role.
