Disaster confirmed for Nkunku

The Chelsea team are unlikely to sign a new striker this summer, despite the absence of injured Christopher Nkunku.

Chelsea paid £52m for France striker Nkunku at the start of the summer but the 25-year-old suffered a serious knee injury during pre-season which will keep him out for months.

Despite links with Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, Chelsea appear ready to rely on their own options to replace Nkunku.

According to’Evening StandardChelsea will therefore reject AC Milan’s latest offer for striker Armando Broja.

Broja hasn’t played since December due to a knee injury but Mauricio Pochettino wants the 21-year-old to compete with £32m summer signing Nicolas Jackson for a starting role.
