Player has ‘lingering effects’ from playing at Chelsea for two years and is suffering

A player has reportedly been suffering with ‘lingering effects’ after playing for Chelsea for two seasons and then leaving.

Being at Chelsea has not been for everyone over the years. Some make it here and thrive, others just cannot get into it and their move’s just end up failing for a number of reasons.

Nobody knows why Christopher Nkunku’s move to Chelsea failed in the end, but it was certainly far from a success.

He of course did struggle with injuries whilst he was at Chelsea, so it was hard to gain sustained momentum and regular playing time. But I think when he did get the chances, he was also played out of position and in a system that perhaps just didn’t suit him.

His form wasn’t great and dipped in and out, and overall, he was just very inconsistent at Chelsea and ended up leaving the club.

Lingering effects

According to Italian reporter Daniele Longo, Max Allegri sees Nkunku only as a second striker at AC Milan, his true role. He has the skills and experience to make an impact and grow, but the feeling is that there are still some lingering effects from the last two seasons at Chelsea.
