Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku reportedly has an agreement in place with AC Milan as talks continue to get this deal over the line.
The France international looks to be edging closer to leaving Chelsea for Milan, having given his personal green light to the potential move.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Nkunku has agreed a five-year deal with the Serie A giants, who now just need to finalise negotiations with Chelsea.
One imagines the Blues will be prepared to part ways with Nkunku without too much fuss as he’s very clearly fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

Nkunku looked a world class talent during his time at former club RB Leipzig, but he immediately picked up a pretty bad injury at Chelsea.

That disrupted his first season in English football, and in truth, he never recovered from that point on.
There’s also a lot of competition for places at CFC, and frequent managerial changes probably didn’t make it the easiest environment for him either.
