Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku is reportedly pushing for a move away from Stamford Bridge during the upcoming January transfer window, according to CaughtOffside.

Frustrated with limited opportunities, the French international has been relegated to a secondary role this season. Despite his standout performances in domestic competitions and the UEFA Conference League, Nkunku has managed just 326 minutes of Premier League action, leaving him dissatisfied with his current situation.

Sources suggest Nkunku’s representatives are actively exploring potential transfer destinations for the 27-year-old. Chelsea, adhering to their policy of not retaining unhappy players, are reportedly open to his departure.

Arsenal have emerged as a possible destination, with the Gunners keeping a close eye on the situation. Paris Saint-Germain is another potential suitor, as the Ligue 1 giants could be looking to fill a spot left by Randal Kolo Muani, who may be on his way out after falling out of favor with manager Luis Enrique.

Nkunku, a PSG academy graduate, began his professional career with the club before a successful move to RB Leipzig in 2019. With his history at the Parc des Princes and his undeniable talent, a return to the French capital or a move to Arsenal could be on the cards this winter.
