Chelsea manager says Milan can expect ‘fantastic things’ from Nkunku

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca praised Christopher Nkunku, who is on the verge of joining AC Milan, during his press conference ahead of Chelsea-Fulham. 

Nkunku landed in Milan last night and began his medical tests this morning, arriving at La Madonnina clinic. He has decided to wear the No.18 shirt and if all goes according to plan, he will sign his contract with the Rossoneri tonight.

It’s certainly a good reinforcement for Max Allegri and his squad, even if most of the fans expected a more classic striker to arrive. In the 3-5-2 formation, he will be more of a creative player just like Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the Fulham clash, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca shared his thoughts on Nkunku’s move to Milan. He heaped praise on the Frenchman and said the Rossoneri can expect ‘fantastic things’.

“Christo is a fantastic professional, he trained very well. The only problem with Christo was that in his position, there was a player like Cole. They [Milan] can expect fantastic things because he is a fantastic professional and player,” he said as cited by Nizaar Kinsella.
