Chelsea pursuit of Mathys Tel puts Christopher Nkunku future in doubt Chelsea’s victory over Bournemouth in September gave Christopher Nkunku the finest moment of his Blues career, but as the Cherries head to Stamford Bridge his future is in high doubt.
At an opportune moment, Nkunku has failed to apply serious pressure to Jackson’s spot, underwhelming when given a rare start in the 2-0 defeat away at Ipswich and missing a penalty at 0-0 in another against Morecambe on Saturday, albeit he eventually scored as the goals flew in in the second-half.
The late winner in a 1-0 victory at the Vitality Stadium is one of 13 goals Nkunku has scored this season, enough to make him joint-top-scorer alongside Cole Palmer.
Now, Bayern Munich are interested in a January move, with Chelsea having made an enquiry over teenager Mathys Tel about a separate deal that could see him head the other way.
More recently, though, Jackson’s output has dipped, the Senegalese having scored only once in six league games, easily his quietest period of the campaign.
