According to reports, Christopher Nkunku is feeling a bit frustrated with his current situation at Chelsea. However, Enzo Maresca, the coach of the team, has made it clear that he has no intention of letting Nkunku go during the transfer window in January. Nkunku, who was signed for a whopping £52 million from RB Leipzig last year, has not been getting much playing time this season, only starting in one of Chelsea's 12 Premier League games so far.
There have been rumors that Nkunku is already considering his options for the upcoming transfer window due to his dissatisfaction with his current role at the club. Maresca, on the other hand, is confident that Nkunku will have more opportunities to showcase his skills on the field in the coming months. However, he also believes that it's important for the team to maintain a good balance in their attack, and not just focus on one player.
During a recent interview, Maresca stated that Joao Felix, another player in the team, recently played in a Premier League game against Leicester. This shows that Nkunku will also have his chances to shine in the league. However, with so many talented players on the team, Maresca acknowledges that it can be challenging to keep everyone satisfied with their playing time. But he reassures that the team's goal is to keep all the players happy, even though it may not always be possible.
When asked if Nkunku has expressed his unhappiness to him personally, Maresca responded with a firm "no." He also mentioned that he had recently spoken to Nkunku and the player did not mention anything about being unhappy. Maresca believes that like any other player, Nkunku wants to play more minutes on the field. However, he also understands the importance of maintaining a balanced team, especially with a busy schedule ahead.
Maresca also made it clear that Nkunku is a valuable member of the team and remains a part of his plans for the future. However, he pointed out that Nkunku's position on the field can be a bit tricky to navigate. As a creative and attacking player, Nkunku's main focus is on scoring goals, rather than defending. Maresca believes that while Nkunku is a fantastic player, it's important for the team to have a balance between offense and defense.
In the previous game against Leicester, the team tried a new formation with Nkunku and another player, Cole Palmer, playing together. Maresca hopes to continue experimenting with different combinations, including Nkunku and other players like Joao Felix, in the future. However, he also understands that not every game will allow for such experimentation and that the team needs to remain focused on the upcoming matches.
In conclusion, Maresca wants to make it clear that Nkunku is an important player for the team and that he has no plans to let him go during the January transfer window. Despite the challenges of keeping everyone happy, Maresca is confident that Nkunku will have his chances to shine in the team and help them achieve their goals.
