According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku is contemplating his future at the club due to a lack of regular playing time. Despite starting in Chelsea's recent defeat to Ipswich Town, Nkunku has predominantly been confined to substitute appearances and cup matches, leading to growing frustration. Romano suggests that while Chelsea intends to retain Nkunku, the situation could change if the player explicitly expresses a desire to depart in search of more consistent first-team action.
